Nets said that both the parties will gain increased industrial scale and synergies through the acquisition.

Nets CEO Bo Nilsson said: “With this acquisition we extend our geographic presence in Europe, especially within the high growth merchant services area as we now get better access to pursuing opportunities in Poland.

“Dotpay/eCard have performed very strongly in recent years achieving solid volume and revenue growth. We aim to continue and strengthen this development through both investments into organic growth and potentially also via further consolidation.”

Dotpay and eCard will retain their brands following the completion of the acquisition, which is expected in the fourth quarter of this year. The deal is pending regulatory approval.
