"The growth in revenue will be at least 40% for 2008," H1 told SeeNews.
The company announced last week a nine-month revenue of 57.4 million kuna, 96% up compared to the same period last year.
H1 said it has a 5.0% market share by number of users, adding that 90% of the banks in Croatia use its services. H1 has more than 75,000 users in Croatia. It expects this number to exceed 85,000 by the end of the year, and its market share to expand.
