Repay Holdings Corporation (NASDAQ: RPAY) (“REPAY”), a leading provider of vertically-integrated payment solutions, today announced that effective as of the close of the market on June 26, 2020 it has been added as a member of the US Small-Cap Russell 2000® Index, as part of the 2020 Russell US Index’s annual reconstitution. Membership in the Russell 2000® Index, which remains in place for one year, is based on membership in the broad-market Russell 3000® Index. REPAY will also be automatically added to the appropriate growth and value indexes.
“It’s an honor to be added to the Russell 2000 Index, and we believe our inclusion will increase REPAY’s exposure with an even larger group of investors for the future,” said John Morris, CEO of REPAY. “To be included in this index within a year of becoming a public company is extremely gratifying and strongly complements our company’s momentum and anticipated growth trajectory.”
REPAY aims to deliver the most frictionless, customer-centric payments experience by partnering with lenders, auto finance companies, credit unions, businesses and other merchants. REPAY’s expanded suite of digital solutions includes interactive voice response (IVR), SMS/text-to-pay, online web portals, and branded mobile applications. The company also offers solutions for loan repayment and distribution systems that are designed to immediately push funds to customers’ debit or prepaid cards.
The annual reconstitution of the broad-market Russell Indexes captures the largest 3,000 U.S. stocks, ranking them by total market capitalization. Representing two-thirds of the Index, the Russell 2000 is comprised of the publicly-traded small-cap companies.
Russell US Indexes are widely used by investment managers and institutional investors for passive funds and investment products and as benchmarks for active investment strategies. Approximately $9 trillion in assets are benchmarked against Russell US Indexes. Russell US Indexes are part of FTSE Russell’s suite of index offerings.
