The consolidated group will be headed by Klinger as the CEO.

RedCard chairman Joe DiMartini and CEO Eric Schaefer will assume senior executive positions at the group.

DiMartini stated: “The combined company’s payment optimisation solution combines the three critical activities along the payment value chain: the payment data platform or software ‘brain’ to manage and communicate payment data, a highly attractive payment network and payment execution technology, and proprietary processes and expertise to organise every step required to efficiently and effectively take a complete payment file from start to finish.”
