GreenBox Completes Acquisition of Transact Europe, Propelling Company Forward as Contender in Lucrative Global Payments Landscape
06 April 2022 - 10:00PM
GreenBox POS (NASDAQ: GBOX) ("GreenBox" or the "Company"), an
emerging and rapidly growing FinTech company announced today that
after a rigorous regulatory approval process it has completed its
acquisition of Transact Europe Holdings for approximately $28
million. The purchase price is substantiated by the value of
Transact Europe’s business volume, strategic licenses, systems and
personnel.
Transact Europe EAD (TEU), an EU regulated
electronic money institution headquartered in Sofia, Bulgaria,
boasts an impressive array of highly coveted licenses such as
principal level membership of Visa, worldwide membership of
MasterCard, and principal membership of China UnionPay. TEU is also
part of the direct SEPA (Single Euro Payments Area), a crucial
payment system enabling the impressive upsurge of cashless payments
across continental Europe. Armed with a global footprint,
proprietary payment gateway and technology platforms, adding TEU
perfectly positions GreenBox to swiftly move to expand its market
share in a massive market where the opportunity for new entrants to
emerge and dominate is immense.
By acquiring TEU, GreenBox can now deliver to
European merchants the distinct advantage of speedier payments,
more competitive rates, swift onboarding, and expertise in higher
risk verticals. Several key strategic initiatives are ready to
deploy to unleash the synergies and usher in robust growth. By
adding card present transactions, TEU can superbly target the
retail segment. Incorporating alternative payment methods with
partners in Europe will expand acceptance to include other regional
card issuers. The addition of banking and foreign exchange
capabilities also provides value-add solutions for clients as well
as another driver of revenue for GreenBox.
With a substantial number of cross border
transactions in the region, the TEU acquisition makes for fertile
ground to drive massive adoption of coyni, GreenBox’s stablecoin
and digital payment platform technology. The company can also
entice its U.S. clients with capabilities to expand their business
into Europe, and vice-versa, unlocking tremendous potential value
for both existing and prospective customers in the U.S. as well as
Europe. For the first full year of operations, Transact Europe is
expected to contribute approximately $2 million of adjusted EBITDA.
GreenBox anticipates the transaction will be accretive to cash
earnings per share (EPS) in the first year.
James Bergman, Chairman, Transact Europe
Holdings, commented: “We have already seen over the past few months
the depth and breadth of new merchants and partner opportunities
that GreenBox is adding to Transact Europe. These substantial
volumes and excellent margins, make it clear how successful
GreenBox will be in their ownership. We wish them every
success.”
“This acquisition is a momentous triumph for us,
representing the most significant asset to date for GreenBox,
allowing us to propel forward as a significant player in the
European and global marketplace,” said Ben Errez, Chairman of
GreenBox POS. “GreenBox and TEU are a natural complement to each
other with TEU’s licenses and infrastructure combined with
GreenBox’s suite of customized blockchain payment solutions, global
strategy and technology creating a powerful synergy that we believe
will quickly scale in the European market in which non-cash
payments account for over 100 billion transactions and exceed 160
trillion euros per year. Furthermore, our combined infrastructure
paves the way for expansion into other digital payments markets and
countries around the world. As a result, we expect to see momentous
gains in processing volume leading to stronger revenue contribution
and long-term sustainable value our shareholders expect. “
