Pushpay Holdings Ltd (ASX: PPH)

Pushpay is an ASX tech share that facilitates electronic donations for large churches in the US.

Pushpay is expecting digital adoption to continue to grow and it's investing for sustainable growth.

It's looking to attract new customers across a number of segments and benefit from increased operating leverage.

The company is also looking to grow in the Catholic segment of the market, which it views as a "significant" long-term opportunity. It has a goal of acquiring more than 25% of the Catholic church management system and donor management system market over the next five years.
