Global merchant service provider NXGEN International has acquired electronic payment processing company Payment Plus for an undisclosed amount.
Founded in 1999, Payment Plus serves businesses in more than 30 US states.
The deal is expected to provide Payment Plus’s customers with NXGEN’s portfolio of integrated products, software and services, mobile payment technologies and smart terminals.
Payment Plus president and CEO Tammy Zimmerman will continue to lead the business, and the company’s customers and partners will be retained.
Zimmerman added: “There were many similarities in how NXGEN and PPI worked to ensure their customers’ and partners’ success.
“Those synergies made the idea of joining forces with a global business like NXGEN the obvious next step for PPI and we are excitedly looking forward to bringing a wider array of cutting-edge products to our customers. The team we are joining at NXGEN is highly respected in the payments industry and committed to growth.”
