Going Public
This is the third acquisition of Paya as it bought Stewardship Technology in late 2018 and First Billing Services last year.
The latest acquisition followed the public listing of Paya’s stocks on NASDAQ as the company completed its reverse merger with FinTech Acquisition Corp III, a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC). Although, GTCR, the existing parent company of Paya, continued to be the largest shareholder of the merged entity.
“The deep expertise, technology, and proven success that the TPG team has achieved with government clients complements the work Paya has already undertaken to enable the highly flexible, vertically tailored, and integrated commerce solutions,” KJ McConnell, Principal at GTCR, said.
“The COVID-19 pandemic is accelerating the shift to digital payments, and TPG provides an affordable solution to smaller municipalities to enable citizens to pay their bills online.”
