Pexa: Downside From UK Expansion Remains Limited

We expect Pexa’s strategic focus for the foreseeable future to be on its overseas expansion into the United Kingdom. Pexa’s exchange business is mostly saturated in Australia, leaving overseas expansion as the primary driver of growth. However, Pexa does not enjoy an equally supportive environment in the UK as it did in Australia. In Australia, the country's largest banks co-owned it and with a legal mandate from state governments to move to e-conveyancing, this helped drive adoption. Pexa will therefore have to invest heavily into product development, and especially sales and marketing to drive adoption of its platform by sufficient market participants for network effects to kick in.
