Question · Q3 2025
Bryan Keene inquired about Marqeta's new business pipeline, the ramp-up of new contracts, and how much of the recent outperformance stems from existing business. He also asked about the challenges in guiding normalized growth rates given the significant impact of high-growth areas like Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL).
Answer
CEO and CFO Michael Milotich clarified that new programs, even from existing customers (e.g., new products or geographic expansions), are considered new business. He noted that programs launched since early 2024 are on track to contribute over $40 million in revenue for 2025. Milotich acknowledged that forecasting is more complex during the Q4 holiday season due to BNPL volume and macroeconomic uncertainty, but expressed confidence in their projection ability. He further explained that the TransactPay acquisition facilitates easier transatlantic expansion for customers by offering program management parity with North America and opens Marqeta to larger enterprise opportunities seeking a single partner for processing, program management, and EMI licenses.
