In its business report, MoneyGram called attention to the fact that it continued expanding its strategic partnership with San Francisco-based blockchain behemoth Ripple, which owns 9.95 percent of its outstanding common stock. This coincided with its rapid digital transformation — MoneyGram Online has witnessed a 39 percent year-over-year increase in number of transactions.
"This was a pivotal year for us as we continued to execute our digital transformation and deliver a differentiated experience to our customers," said Alex Holmes, the CEO of MoneyGram.

The aforementioned revenue figure excludes Ripple's $8.9 mln financial benefit. The SEC recommended MoneyGram count it as part of MoneyGram's contra expense account.

Despite MoneyGram's upbeat earnings report, the Dallas-based money transfer company is still struggling to remain profitable after ending yet another quarter in the red.
In Q4, it reported a net loss of $11.9 mln compared to $7.7 mln in the previous quarter.
MoneyGram's shares are currently down by more than six percent pre-market.
