FreeStar Technology Corp. (FSRT.OB), a global payment processing and technology company headquartered in the Dominican Republic, announced today that the company has achieved record sales for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2008. Sales skyrocketed 66% to over $6 million. Perhaps more remarkable is the fact that the company’s most significant projects are still in their infancy.
Paul Egan, FreeStar CEO, said, “The revenue growth we achieved in 2008 occurred even though we are still in the early stages of seeing returns on our significant investment into the China Unionpay project and our other projects involving Monex and Global Refunds. Each of these could significantly impact our revenue streams in the future.”
Key to the huge sales increase was the success achieved in consulting and hardware. Consulting revenue went up by 115% while hardware sales rose over 160%. Transaction processing revenue also grew.
