MIAMI, FL, Aug. 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Standard Premium Finance Holdings, Inc. ("Standard") (OTCQX: SPFX) last week released its financial results for its second quarter of fiscal year 2024 ended June 30, 2024.

“Standard has delivered record quarterly revenues,” said William Koppelmann, CEO of Standard. “Adjusting to the unprecedented eleven interest rate increases required a balance of resilience and perspicacity that steered us soundly through a turbulent macroeconomic environment.

Our current position supports Standard’s growth trajectory expanding into new geographic territories.”
