The acquisition aims to expand Payroc’s service offerings by incorporating BlueSnap’s global and enterprise capabilities.
It is expected to result in a combined entity providing global card acquisition and e-Banking processing services to merchants, independent software vendors (ISVs), and technology partners.
Payroc said the integration will facilitate the acceptance of various payment methods, including card-not-present transactions and electronic checks, across 47 countries, supporting over 100 currencies and more than 36 local payment methods through a single API.
BlueSnap’s tools for intelligent routing and fraud prevention are expected to improve authorisation rates and reduce costs associated with cross-border transactions.
