The San Francisco-based company also launched a restaurant POS offering through the acquisition of EmaginePOS.
Besides, SpotOn snapped up Lifeyo to offer customised websites and launched a number of new products.
TSYS Merchant Solutions president and executive vice-president Mike Peters said: “TSYS shares in the vision that Merchant Services has to continue to expand beyond just payment processing.
“Matt and Zach have a proven track-record of being able to successfully scale businesses, and we are extremely excited to continue our partnership with SpotOn and support their continued growth.”
Based in Georgia, TSYS has operations in 13 countries. In 2018, the firm reported revenue of $4bn.
