Q3 was Flex’s strongest quarter yet as we build the global financial home for HNW business owners.
A few highlights:
- Revenue grew 2.5x YoY at scale
- $20B+ annualized TPV
- Revenue outside business cards grew 7x YoY
- Accounts Payable now accounts for ~39% of revenue
- Texas and Florida are our largest markets, with customers across construction, wholesale, healthcare, ecommerce brands, local government, and more
- 98% gross logo retention
- Global banking now represents 12% of revenue, up from just 0.4% at the start of the year, fueled by spend management, stablecoin, and multi-currency accounts
- Canada is our largest market outside the US, followed by the UAE
- Cross-border payments revenue grew 5.5x YoY
On the consumer side, thousands of HNW individuals have joined the waitlist for Flex Elite, our new personal credit card offering up to 5% cashback on everything.
We're onboarding members in phases. DM us for priority.
Our ambition is simple: build the full financial home for founders, across both their businesses and personal lives. And every quarter reminds me of how underserved traditional businesses are globally.
I joined Gstaad Guy's podcast to share what we've been up to. Watch below.
