2018-July-Fintech.Pdf July 2018 Financial Technology MARKET UPDATE M&AMARLIN & ASSOCIATES INVESTMENT BANKING AND STRATEGIC ADVISORY TO THE FINANCIAL TECHNOLOGY AND INFORMATION SERVICES INDUSTRIES New York Washington, D.C. Toronto Financial Technology Financial www.MarlinLLC.com © Marlin & Associates Holdings LLC, All Right Reserved DEAR CLIENTS AND FRIENDS, FinTech: The End of the Beginning - Our July 2018 Fintech Market Update Dear Clients and Friends, Our latest FinTech m&a report can be found below. It highlights m&a trends and transactions in the seven segments of the FinTech world that we follow and sometimes lead. Recently Capgemini, the consulting, technology and outsourcing services company, in collaboration with Efma, a global non-profit organization, issued its second annual World FinTech Report. The authors may not have intended their report to call the “End of the Beginning” of consumer FinTech, but that is what they have done – and we agree. The Beginning is over. The Future is before us. Consumer-oriented Fintech isn’t new. We started replacing human bank tellers with technology in the 1960s (ATMs); stock brokers in the 1980s (E*TRADE and other on-line brokers); PayPal was founded almost 20 years ago. Betterment and other robo-advisors began replacing wealth managers a decade ago; 15 years ago Prosper, Funding Circle and other Peer-to-Peer lenders did the same to bankers. A few things are new: one is the sheer number of consumer FinTech apps that have proliferated - combined with the speed of adoption, both of which surprised many in the industry. Another is the aggressive (if belated) response by many “traditional” firms. Suddenly, the “hunted” are becoming the hunters, as firms like American Express, Citi, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, MasterCard, Visa and others invest in technology, acquire, integrate and offer the sorts of “…quick, convenient, seamless … efficient, portable, and delightful…” financial services that consumers – and businesses - have come to expect. And to them we now add BigTech firms like Alibaba, Facebook, Google, Oracle, TenCent, and WeChat. As Capgemini noticed – and we talked about in our October 2017 Report - FinTech is increasingly BigTech. All this has given new impetus to companies that sell “tools” to allow clients to compete in this brave new world. The disrupters are far from dead and the incumbents are far from safe. There is plenty of room for both. And both are finding growth more expensive and profitability more challenging than they had assumed. (See for example CAN Capital, OnDeck and Lending Club – or, if you prefer, try to find Beepi, Dealstruck, or Pay By Touch.) The smart ones (old and new) have realized that success requires more than technology. It also requires knowledge of pain points, trust building, brand building, customer centricity, a sustainable organization – and a lot of money. This is certainly not the beginning of the end for the innovators in Consumer FinTech; but it’s is clearly the End of the Beginning. We provide unbiased expert counsel to those who would buy, sell, raise capital or invest in excellent middle-market FinTech firms. It’s a good place to be. Many recent transactions are discussed in the report found below. A few of the more interesting ones include: • PayPal (NASDAQ:PYPL) agreed to acquire HyperWallet for • Nets (Ballerup, Denmark) agreed to acquire a majority stake $400mm, in Dotcard for PLN 255mm (~$85mm), • Dataminr (New York, NY) raised $392mm in funding at an • LendingPoint (Kennesaw, GA) raised $53mm in a debt implied valuation of $1.6bn from new investors including funding round from Paragon Outcomes. Morgan Stanley, • Deutsche Börse (XTRA:DB1) agreed to acquire GTX ECN from GAIN Capital Holdings for $100mm, valuing the company at an implied 4.35x LTM revenue, Please see our July Fintech M&A Update below.

  • How Banks and Fintechs Create and Capture Value with Mobile Payment
    How banks and fintechs create and capture value with mobile payment via their business value network: A value network case study of ING’s Mobiel Betalen and WeChat Pay’s Quick Pay. Author: Laura Frank University of Twente P.O. Box 217, 7500AE Enschede The Netherlands Network value analysis of mobile payment solutions has shown that in order to deliver value and create the service, a network of partners is required. Solutions of different providers, banks and fintechs, have shown that both have similar network partners in place. Common partners among mobile payment solutions are banks or actors with a payment license, smartphone manufacturers, stores, merchants and generally places that accept mobile payments. Depending on the technology that got chosen by the payment provider, further actors are part of the network. All actors within the network receive their own individual value by being part of the network. Mobile payment solutions that make use of quick response (QR) codes for payments are easier to facilitate than payment solutions that make use of near field communication (NFC). This is due to that users and merchants simply need a unique QR code that is connected to their mobile payment account, while payment solutions that make use of NFC technology need payment terminals that facilitate contactless payments as well as a suitable smartphone. By limiting the payment solution to only certain smartphones, payment terminals and operating systems, providers limit their potential user base. Even though multiple network partners of the fintech and bank payment solution got distinguished, some value chain elements still remain, as the parent companies of both take on multiple task and functions of the network.

  • Trends of Venture Capital Internationalisation the Impact of a Technology Ecosystem on Early Stage Cross- Border Investments
    Trends of Venture Capital Internationalisation The impact of a technology ecosystem on early stage cross- border investments . AUTHOR Anna Ahlm TUTOR Conny Overland Spring term 2014 FEA50E Degree Project in Business Administration for Master of Science in Business and Economics, 30 credits Abstract The venture capital industry has grown rapidly in the last decades to become an important source of financing for entrepreneurs. While research suggests that venture capital investments are more likely to be successful if done in close geographic proximity to the venture capital firm, there is clearly a trend of increasing international investments. This thesis looks at the venture capital community in New York to understand venture capital as a part of the development of New York’s technology cluster, and to understand venture capitalists view on cross-border investments. By applying the ecosystem resource perspective model, the study finds that venture capitalists have a strong influence on the technology ecosystem in New York, due to its large financial sector. The study also finds that ecosystem sub-sectors have developed by applying technology to the dominating business sectors in New York. The study also identifies a “reverse internationalisation”, whereby companies founded abroad relocate to New York at earlier stages in their development, as the growth of the New York ecosystem has increased its attractiveness to foreign founded companies. While the empirical results confirm an increasing interest for cross-border investing, the increased supply of early stage investment opportunities (U.S. and foreign founded) creates a strong incentive for a local investment strategy. Further, the study finds that venture capitalists mitigate the risks associated with cross-border investments by establishing funds in specific regions of interest, and by co- investing with local partners.

SafeCharge Vision: Answering the needs of the new payment leaders 34 The 7 Habits Of Successful “New” Payments Leaders Best practices and insights by industry front runners 1 Preamble Traditionally, online businesses were primarily concerned with the cost of payment acceptance. Their1 objective was to reduce this cost as much as possible over time. The Payments function has always been an important part of the business, however, its exposure and its influence in the business was limited. The function was part of the corporate infrastructure, typically serving other strategic areas such as Finance and IT, and managed with an operational mind-set. To understand the evolution of the Payments function and its role in organisations, Edgar, Dunn & Company and SafeCharge teamed up to undertake a study to identify the perspective or “habits” of Payments leaders who operate within the “new” paradigm that positions Payments holistically as one of the strategic drivers of growth for online businesses. One-on-one interviews were conducted with 12 Payments leaders from across different geographies and industry sectors (including merchants in Europe and North America across verticals such as airlines, apparel / fashion, digital content, gaming) to identify what these seasoned industry professionals believed the best practices and insights were to drive a successful payment strategy in a fast-evolving ecosystem.
