How did Douugh perform?
Investors are driving the Douugh share price higher after the company released a positive performance update.

Card spend surged to $1.04 million, representing an increase of 643% quarter-on-quarter, and a compound monthly growth rate (CMGR) of 173%. Douugh attributed the result to customers using their Douugh card to pay bills such as Uber and Netflix.

The company noted that it is in the late-stage of development for its Android app. Once rolled out, the app is expected to expand its market presence and attract new customers.
Furthermore, the re-launch of the Goodments app is scheduled for the Australian market following some key improvements. Douugh anticipates the app will help accelerate customer and revenue growth in the short term.
