Zip Managing Director and Global CEO, Larry Diamond said:

"Some solid growth in the quarter as Zip delivered another very strong set of numbers. The business continues to execute on its strategy with growth driven by both customer and merchant acquisition, and the increasing levels of engagement as we pursue our mission of becoming the frst payment choice everywhere and every day.
