Description: CASS Cass Information Systems October 23, 2025
Cass Information Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:CASS) delivers payment-and-information processing solutions to U.S. manufacturers, distributors and retailers, operating through two segments: Information Services (freight invoice rating, telecom expense management, church-management software, and B2B fintech platforms) and Banking Services via its subsidiary Cass Commercial Bank (deposits, commercial loans, and cash-management for privately held firms, restaurant franchises and faith-based entities).
According to the company’s FY 2023 Form 10-K, total revenue was approximately $1.2 billion, representing a 5 % year-over-year increase driven primarily by growth in its fintech-as-a-service offering; adjusted EBITDA stood at $150 million (≈12.5 % margin), while cash on hand exceeded $200 million, providing liquidity to fund organic expansion and modest acquisition opportunities.
Key drivers for Cass’s outlook include (1) the continued acceleration of B2B digital payments, which the World Bank estimates will grow at ~9 % CAGR through 2027, (2) supply-chain digitization trends that raise demand for automated freight-invoice rating and auditing services, and (3) the sensitivity of its banking franchise to interest-rate cycles-higher rates can boost net interest margin but may also compress loan-demand in the construction and commercial-real-estate segments.
