Dear Friends and Partners,
I’d like to share with you an important new chapter in our company’s evolution.
Ingenico S.A.
(Euronext: ING), a global leader in payment solutions, recently
acquired a controlling interest in TransferTo. Ingenico had previously
held a 35% stake in TransferTo through its venture capital arm Ingenico
Ventures since 2009 and now holds 90% of all shares in the company.
Ingenico's acquisition of TransferTo will further strengthen its
position as a leading provider of mobile commerce solutions. It also
confirms the strength of TransferTo's business model and the massive
potential of airtime remittances. This transaction will bolster our
capital base and allow us to deploy our airtime transfer service faster
than ever. More importantly, it will allow TransferTo to continue
improving the services provided to our partners.
Ingenico and TransferTo believe that our partners will greatly benefit
from this unique combination, which brings together a leading provider
of payment solutions and a major airtime remittance service provider.
TransferTo will be able to deploy even faster airtime remittance
services, greater network coverage, improved payment options and
financial services, leveraging on the large installed base of POS
terminals.
I’d like to take this opportunity to thank you for your support, and I
look forward to continuing our long term partnership. As always, your
success is very important to us, so if you have questions, please feel
free to contact me directly or your account manager.
