Otter Payments: Finding 14% Growth
Consulting
medium45 min0 submissionsGoldman Sachs
Scenario
Otter Payments (fintech, Southeast Asia) has grown at 4% a year for three years. The new CEO has committed the board to 14% growth — a gap of roughly $129 M of incremental revenue in year one.
What we know.
- Current revenue: $1290 M
- 4381 active customers
- Annual customer churn: 19%
- Estimated share of existing customers' relevant spend: 38%
- The core market is growing at 6% — so the company is roughly holding share
The CEO's instinct is to enter a new geography. The CFO thinks the answer is in the existing base. Nobody has yet sized either.

Hint
Reveal suggested structure
Decompose growth into five sources and size each:
- Retention — reducing 19% churn
- Penetration — raising 38% share of wallet
- New customers in existing segments
- New products to existing customers
- New geographies or segments
Score on size, speed, cost and risk. The first two are usually cheapest and fastest; the last is usually slowest.
