Priority Technology has formed an operating partnership with Yapstone to create a real estate payments venture within Priority Real Estate Technology (PRET).

Priority Technology offers merchant acquiring and commercial payment solutions, while Yapstone is an online and mobile payment solutions company.

Under the arrangement, Yapstone will be responsible for credit and debit card processing for the new venture, which will leverage the company’s real estate payment processing technology.

The company will also contribute through its property management contracts and customer network in rent, storage and dues markets.

It will hold a minority interest in the new business and serve on PRET’s board.

Yapstone chairman and CEO Tom Villante said: “The partnership with Priority allows Yapstone to better serve the global rentals market and at the same time, allows us on a standalone basis to focus on providing superior end-to-end payment solutions to a broader set of marketplaces, software companies, platforms and merchants worldwide.”
