The acquisition strengthens Paystone’s position, which processes over $10bn annually in bankcard volume through its 35,000 locations across Canada and the US.
Paystone is also looking to hire over 100 new employees by the end of this year to grow in service, offering, and revenue.
CPS marks the sixth acquisition by Paystone, which bought Montreal-based DataCandy and Vancouver-based NiceJob in the past two years.
Paystone CEO Tarique Al-Ansari said: “This is the largest acquisition we have made to date in relation to both new revenue and clients. Additionally, we are also excited to provide additional value to CPS merchants through Paystone’s proprietary product and service offerings.”
