A 94% increase in revenue on the loyalty network's Access+ "pay with points" tech solution helps push overall performance higher

TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / February 23, 2022 / Engage People, the only loyalty network that enables program members to pay with points (PwP) directly at checkout, today announced a 33% increase in year-over-year revenue in 2021.

Access+, Engage People's platform that powers the loyalty network and PwP capabilities, grew revenue by 94% - a signal of continued demand from retailers and financial institutions (FIs) for the convenience of paying with points. In addition, its Podium Loyalty platform saw revenue increase by more than 32%, and merchandise and gift card sales through the platform increased by more than 23% last year.
