Square, the payments company co-founded by Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, reported a better-than-expected 26% jump in quarterly revenue, as customers processed more transactions through its technology.

The company, which also raised the low end its full-year revenue forecast, said gross payment volume – the total dollar amount of all card payments processed by sellers – jumped 33% to $16.4 billion in the second quarter.

Shares of the San Francisco-based company rose 1.5% to $26.82 in after-market trading on Wednesday.

Square facilitates payments between businesses and customers by using a credit card reader that turns any cellphone into a payment terminal.

Square raised the low end of its full-year revenue guidance to $2.14 billion from $2.12 billion, keeping the top end unchanged at $2.16 billion.

Net loss narrowed to $15.96 million, or 4 cents per share, in the quarter ended June 30, from $27.35 million, or 8 cents per share, a year earlier.
