Mon, 10th Aug 2020 12:16

"The group will continue to service its existing customer base ensuring the fair treatment of customers, along with any new volumes generated during the orderly winding up of the three contracts and will continue to benefit from the cash generated from this business," the company said.

ThinkSmart added that it "anticipates its cash reserves will continue to build over the next few years".

Thinksmart noted that it also holds 10% share of a UK afterpay business that trades as Clearpay. ThinkSmart also provides an outsourced call centre customer support service for Clearpay.

Shares in ThinkSmart were up 6.7% at 32.00 pence in London at midday Monday, giving it a market capitalisation of GBP34.1 million. Shares in FTSE 250 constituent Dixons Carphone were up 1.9% at 84.45p.
