Testimony from Payoneer CEO John Caplan on the Q2 2025 financial results and the company's ambition to reach a $1 billion revenue milestone.
Payoneer Reports Q2 2025 Revenue Growth Amidst Tariff Challenges
In a recent interview, Payoneer's CEO, John Caplan, and VP of Investor Relations, Michelle Wang, discussed the company's Q2 2025 performance and future prospects. The discussion provided valuable insights into Payoneer's growth strategies and challenges.
Payoneer reported a 9% year-over-year increase in revenue for Q2 2025, totaling $260.6 million. This growth was primarily driven by the company's B2B small and medium-sized business (SMB) segment. The segment generated $183 million in revenue, showing a strong diversification with a 37% growth in B2B SMB revenue and an 86% surge in Checkout (digital wallet) product usage.
The company's B2B franchise, checkout and card products, and new pricing strategy were key drivers in Q2 2025. However, key customer growth details for this quarter were not provided.
Payoneer is also focusing on stablecoin opportunities, particularly in off-ramping digital currencies to local fiat currencies. The company is collaborating with Citi to integrate digital currencies into real-time treasury management, which represents a strategic avenue to enhance flexibility and efficiency in cross-border payments, improving liquidity management for clients.
Despite the ongoing challenges due to U.S. tariffs, particularly given that China accounts for about a third of Payoneer’s business, the company maintains China as a core market and is seeing faster growth in Latin America and other Asia-Pacific regions. The company has reinstated its 2025 revenue guidance after suspending it earlier due to tariff uncertainties, signaling confidence in navigating these trade tensions.
Payoneer is also leveraging advanced AI technologies to drive profitability and productivity improvements. AI-powered infrastructure upgrades support faster money movement and expanded multi-currency capabilities, enabling the company to better capture value from its growing transaction base while managing costs.
In summary, Payoneer's Q2 2025 results reflect its strategic focus on expanding global SMB transactions through innovative payments technologies and navigating geopolitical trade challenges effectively.
