Where USIO is headed
Usio in mid-2028 looks like a very different company than the one trading at $2.21 today. The interesting shift is not in the ACH legacy business, it's in the prepaid card division and the PayFac platform, which together have been growing faster than the headline 15.7% top line suggests. Management has spent the last three years rebuilding Usio as four distinct rails (ACH/eCheck, credit card, prepaid, output solutions), and the prepaid piece in particular has become a quiet specialist in government disbursement programs, guaranteed income pilots, and corporate incentive cards. That's a vertical the big processors don't bother with at small scale, and it carries margins that should pull blended gross margin from the low 20s toward the high 20s as mix shifts.
