Repay CEO John Morris said BillingTree’s team and strong platform capabilities would help the company further expand its position in Healthcare, Credit Unions, and ARM industries.
The addition of BillingTree is expected to raise Repay’s total card payment volume to more than $20bn on an annualised basis and expand its software partner integrations to over 175.
Morris said: “BillingTree satisfies all of our acquisition investment criteria, including a large addressable market opportunity that is amid a shift away from legacy payment methods and towards the technology-first, industry-specific payment mediums in which BillingTree specialises.”
