Payments Q4 Update Vf Payments – Are Cross Border Payments A Benefactor In The Pandemic Affected World Dear Clients and Friends, Marlin & Associates (M&A) is pleased to share our latest report on m&a values and trends in the Payments Technology sector. As you will see in the report, after a few slow months, m&a activity and values in this sector have come back strong - driven in part by (i) significant shifts to online spending during a never-ending pandemic that has accelerated trends across the B2B, B2C and P2P spaces that were already in place well before the coronavirus upended daily life; (ii) customer demand for ever more speed and transparency for these transactions; (iii) regulations that are driving more banks to partner with payment tech companies to facilitate transactions; and (iv) small and medium sized businesses (“SMEs”) increasingly seeking cross border opportunities due to access to more efficient (and less expensive) cross border payment solutions. Our own client pipeline largely mimics these trends. As you also will see in this report, market values for publicly traded firms have continued to remain robust. Several notable deals have been announced including Stripe acquiring Nigeria’s Paystack for $200mm to expand to the African continent, Italy’s Nexi SpA agreed to buy SIA SpA to in an all-share deal that values closely-held SIA at EUR 4.56 billion ($5.3 billion), and U.K. based online money transfer company, World Remit, is buying Africa-focused, app- based remittance ​​​​​firm Sendwave in a cash and stock deal worth more than $500mm. ​​Marlin & Associates is one of the most active investment banking and strategic advisory firms, providing trusted counsel to middle market companies worldwide that offer enterprise and vertical application software, services, data and analytics including firms across the FinTech ecosystem (Payments, Real Estate Tech, Payments, BankTech, WealthTech, InsurTech, LegalTech, GRC, Capital Markets Tech, Digital Tech, Business Intelligence, and Market Intelligence).

  • Report Arcane Crypto
    Arcane Crypto Report The Institutionalisation of Bitcoin 10 years ago, Satoshi Nakamoto published a paper about a peer-to-peer electronic cash system on an obscure email list for cryptographers. A system that would make trusted third parties superfluous and remove the need for banks and financial institutions to facilitate economic transactions. Few could have predicted the magnitude that followed. Hype, bubble, price collapse and soon to be dead, was the conclusion by many during the crash in 2018. Still, as exemplified by the projects summarised in this report, bitcoin is anything but dead. Despite collapsing prices there has never been more people, bigger institutions or more money betting on bitcoin and cryptocurrencies than right now. Financial institutions, tech giants and regulators have joined the bitcoin ecosystem alongside the cypher punks, libertarians and start-ups. Like the lion and the impala, the different players might have a different vision. Still, they all have their role to play in this ever evolving and growing ecosystem.

  • The European Payments Industry Consolidates Around Its Two Largest Players
    Rise of the champions: the European Payments industry consolidates around its two largest players Introduction From barters and coins to cash pooling to cashless exchanges, the payments industry has undergone a massive transformation since its inception. During the era of booming e-commerce, payment methods are evolving rapidly, with the scope of becoming faster, simpler, and more secure for all parties. The main segments of the payment ecosystem include acquirers/processors, issuers, card networks, gateways, ISOs/MSPs, and non card payments. 1. Acquirers/processors Acquiring (merchant) banks, also known as payment processors , (e.g., Worldpay, Worldline, Barclaycard, First Data, Nexi, Ingenico, Nets) process credit and debit card payments on behalf of a merchant, that is a business that wants to take card payments. Acquirers allow merchants to accept payments from the card-issuing banks (see point 3) through a point of sale terminal. They offer both the hardware and the software needed to “acquire” the payments, meaning to receive it and correctly linking it to a network on the likes of Mastercard. Oftentimes, these players also develop software that the banks use to handle the volume of payments and even perform analysis on the flows. This is a particularly interesting and value added area that is receiving a lot of attention lately, as for the commercial banks it is more and more cost effective to rely on external IT software rather than bear the costs of developing it in-house. In that regard, a particular solution is the ‘Payment as a Service’ (‘PaaS’) technology, which uses the Software-as-a-Service (‘SaaS’) model to connect a group of international payment systems, simplifying payments for the end customer.
