Established in 2007, SafetyPay enables ecommerce transactions through open banking and eCash solutions. Now, it has a presence in 11 Latin American countries.
The deal follows Paysafe’s recent purchase of PagoEfectivo, a Peruvian payments platform.
Paysafe said that the two deals are expected to drive multiple cross-selling opportunities across all its business units and establish it as a leading open banking and eCash solutions provider in Latin America.
Paysafe CEO Philip McHugh said: “We’re very excited by what SafetyPay adds to our group as part of our global real-time banking solutions. We believe that together we will find extensive cross-sell opportunities for online merchants who are looking to expand into new markets.
