Скрилл/Монейбукерс сливается с некой платежной системой Optimal Payments
http://optimalpayments.com/homeYou may have seen this week that Optimal Payments has entered into an agreement to purchase Skrill Group for approximately US$ 1.2 billion. The business combination, which is conditional on shareholder consent and the approval of the UK financial services regulator, is expected to close in the third quarter of 2015. We invite you to read the press release announcing the transaction, which you can find here.
Optimal Payments and Skrill are both successful payment solution companies in the digital wallet and payment card markets, and have a large customer base. In combination, Optimal Payments and Skrill Group can benefit from a strong position in the digital wallet market, especially in Europe, and the move will reinforce our Company’s financial performance.
Benefits to you
This pending acquisition is excellent news for your company, as the combined group will be in a position to offer you an even broader range of products, services and tailored options for you and your clients in an even larger number of regions. It will be a more diversified, vertically integrated company which will have significantly greater reach, enabling it to facilitate payments across a larger, more global market. You will therefore benefit from this transaction by gaining unrivalled access to a large pool of international customers to grow your business.
The combined entity will benefit from significantly enhanced scale in the digital wallet and payments processing markets, as well as from increased customer and geographic diversification and augmented product offerings. Please note that that NETELLER®, Net+®, NETBANX®, Skrill, paysafecard and payolution brand names will be maintained.
Next steps
We will strive to complete the integration of the two companies as quickly and as seamlessly as possible. By seeking ways to leverage the strengths of each company, the combined entity will run its overall business operations and sales activities in a manner that will serve you even more efficiently.
Business as usual
We will continue to provide competitively priced, high quality services to our merchant partners and will offer a broader product portfolio. Our brands will continue operating their own businesses respectively, thus merchants will maintain their current relationships with each of the teams. Additionally, agreements currently in force will remain unchanged.
Keeping you informed and our continued commitment
Throughout the coming months, we will continue to keep you abreast of further developments and changes resulting from this transaction. We will send you additional information once the transaction has been completed.
Please keep in mind that we regard our relationship as extremely important and we will strive to make every effort to ensure that we continuously improve our services to you going forward. Should you have any questions, feel free to contact
