MobilityOne shares (LON: MBO) surged over 15% on Thursday morning after reporting a 51.9% increase in revenue.
Pre-tax profit for the six months ending 30 June 2020, grew from £0.42m to £1.07m, contributed by strong growth in mobile phone prepaid airtime reload, bill payment business in Malaysia and an increase in e-payment transactions amid the pandemic.
