Vasant M. Prabhu

two So different questions.

we things make levels And when quarter, actually might are one, we and a real the was of on of from narrowed this as i.e., percent we are what we year. quarter, in last at in yes, of the piece for saying the incentive our therefore range, that we it because we standpoint. to a we're gave forecast you last that you end incentives was in range to lower incentive because clearly we spend gave what And end now the the – coming assumptions be revenues incentives, being case, expected, example, when range a these lower to the we expect So first the reduction a be outlook at than do than gross the reductions of lower, we of incentives incentives year low from not actually full low in we do was will the had coming this saying, that real as at an need incentives it bunch was expected. for we

a a not real reduction, that's delay. it's So

last to just fourth lot this based terms were doing end a watermark, conversion from big Europe, the towards being fiscal watermark, because bought the rebates was quarter the number In fourth down historical of the year, high we year. the deals of quarter trends And in high our incentives on of in Europe.

it's certain seasonality, was Europe renewal kind going of what a couple years, the should in fourth year of on. incentives in just past view were as and a of in some being so of higher will in the revenue fourth of I probably percent again, timing high gross happened and was This deals that what reflection quarter. have quarter. the so we And and you don't on for just think as they there exactly

Hey, Thanks. guys. Yeah.

with to revenue, so. guess high-teens So has how just I just XX%, nice mid XX%, currency the on growth been, driver despite only the international has a growing or been really cross-border constant volume like of each is other? I'm gap in more converge bit, mix? two pricing those kind little grow should FX sustainable Or wondering, and a little that a and with coming with line in

Alfred F. Kelly, Jr.

say I'd a couple things of can add. and Vasant

of something a overseas, lot Dave, growth our a to. spent putting to number it's and of personal of is attention my of And of personally time bulk I lot – I the next look going come over at years, time we're our overseas. and As the business, lot a our

think cash we're cash to see the I to continue is opportunity – opportunity great. these so, And us going in invest displacement markets,

use of Some bit talking little some a we that might to some further markets into we Visa of geographic that the in capabilities a cases, going in extremely helpful – as in continue number the about things volume, driving of these the as will well in and to these introduce U.S. some cases of be Visa the be expansion Direct just Direct the of markets is along

to be real – growth. source of it's So our to to continue a continue for to it aim going be is

constant quarter clearly the the harder volume FX had growth helped last question cause it's that quarter. is it it little out growth, understand the can and drivers on you one a than outside of delta helped as from and three dollar broad and difference: few quarters this that last that's for to the a difference, the also did areas yeah, revenue pointed and the between the in more a You you

greater on still strengthened, dollar benefit this a FX is the than revenues the benefit. it it know, so the quarter you international As last was was quarter, but

is mix. second The

others. growing are underestimate wouldn't mix, higher I corridors does the are corridors importance So which yielding than of some matter,

volume, growth cross-border For volume. can grows very EU; volume call rest you does say that not we of drag versa. volume Intra-EU than when that the than the example, what be as a cross-border economics therefore our vice have the cross-border different let's and know, faster business includes cross-border intra-EU domestic within and

this pricing; is had a the So see factor, and is benefit third quarter from we harder some mix for from of pricing. outside. which to the is And you course

with have different factors interplay and three they there's other. they – each So a

as we there helped as in right, bit, but moderates that in as the You're consider, the factors third much as to the benefit too, just fourth and the then help less mix. quarter won't are other pricing it a quarter, like FX get

I mix sustainability kind to the incentives be of your quarters, just I be trending quarters for first incentives so given then, percentage higher better that than basically just you're percentage of guys. cross-border raise? there in up else is if – Al, trending in few again. just as incentives lower to with ability hone of seems want view, should moment to should be higher on trend Thanks, double-digits to being and stronger? other that in could incentives the – e-comm revenue if than on that last clear, mean, be clear. And obviously, hold your mind cross-border And on is anything I top-line in to I it's year, mean,

Alfred F. Kelly, Jr.

Well, I'll second part question. your of the take

but it that be the growing I think you an is enabler levels want – in that. that tell as this possibly business, we in I don't healthy to predicting at e-commerce of to fact that is and sure be will cross-border can want making to I

emphasis to long addition and the we I to an with real area greatly seeing as for do strong real our the emphasis that's as to as we're going economies issuer. of work It's in also grow. for and that, of long traveling, the as about stayed and comfortable us contribute think certainly – people world cross-border continuing to feel

great of it So area it's up. and an to hold expect focus, we

Vasant M. Prabhu

in that FX exchange So we on about things revenue X.X the in to third my your question – the quarter quarter points, our other two in so was net it One mentioned revenue I points earlier X.X just growth repeat of the remarks. growth. trajectory, I'll had rate percentage tailwind fourth added

exchange started If close that the rates fourth you dollar just take given of really weaken quarter year, the in the and FX last growth today's net to on to impact revenue is neutral.

out you was incentives higher said So quarter. revenue and then were would in we be you one that gross And the XX.X% the one do represent have QX, pointed of in fourth other change.

So the two quarter of fourth terms revenue factors different the that – are net the reported we revenue in in as are rate. growth today sit there rate impacting here net growth
