Tim, Did I miss something? I thought Portico was in trials with their announced partners. This press release makes things look much more certain. "Portico is expected to be commercially available nationwide on July 30th".
Was this so definitely announced before? Do they have enough partners announced to be nationwide, or is this also an indication that they have more announcements in the offing?
Regards,
Mark
