  • XTM has signed new service industry verticals namely hotels that include 1 Hotel and Hotel X, golf courses and ski resorts.

  • XTM launched the Today program in the US with the full commercial roll-out of clients in queue to continue after the holidays in early January 2022.

  • The Company is completing its integration with RASI and will begin rollout early Q1. RASI (Restaurants Accounting Services, Inc.) is one of the largest fully integrated end-to-end finance platforms for the hospitality sector utilizing technology for Finance as a Service (FaaS) including payroll in all 50 states.
  • Ten new members joined the XTM team including Jason Giagrande, Head of Business Strategy, US and Paul Dowdall, CFO to support current and expected North American growth.
  • XTM’s b2b model thrives with 230% growth of new clients compared to Q4 2020.

“This has been a year of tremendous growth for XTM,” said Marilyn Schaffer, CEO, XTM. “Growth as defined by revenue, gross dollar value load (GDV) to our platform, new clients represented by tens of thousands of new Today™ program members, a more robust and sophisticated engineering and finance team, and finally our launch into the US market. The XTM team is working throughout COVID leveraging our strengths in facilitating the service industry sectors that are in need of EWA (Earned Wage Access) due to enhanced pressure and to ensure a return to strong hospitality business fundamentals.”

“The fintech space, and more specifically EWA in all its forms, is prime for disruption,” said Paul Dowdall, CFO, XTM. “Joining XTM, a company that has enabled the hospitality industry to truly shift to a completely cashless ecosystem, is the most exciting moment in my career. I am grateful to be part of a company that enables our program members to access their earnings in near real time, addressing the genuine challenge of cashflows for those who depend on steady earnings to meet day to day obligations.”
