Priority Technology Holdings Acquires Finxera to Create the Premier Payments and Banking as a Service Platform

Priority Technology Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: PRTH) ("Priority"), a leading payments technology company helping customers collect, store and send money, has completed the acquisition of Finxera Holdings, Inc.
FREMONT, CA: Fintech is not a buzzword anymore - limited to just within the banking industry. We all know how fintech is revolutionizing the financial landscape all over the world.
Priority Technology Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: PRTH) ("Priority"), a leading payments technology company helping customers collect, store and send money, has completed the acquisition of Finxera Holdings, Inc. ("Finxera"), a pioneer in the fintech industry that launched and operated one of the first Banking as a Service ("BaaS") platforms.
"With the completion of the Finxera acquisition, we now have the premier platform to collect, store and send money with a full breadth of payment and virtual banking capabilities. The Priority suite of services is truly unique and differentiated as Priority becomes one of a handful of companies with nationwide money transmitter licensing that allows us to act as a fully licensed custodian of funds for consumers and enterprises," stated Tom Priore, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Priority. "The adoption of banking and payments across our diverse revenue divisions has already begun. Our complete offering of payment authorization, settlement, account ledgering and disbursement of funds sets us apart from traditional merchant acquirers and delivers on our customers' increasing demands for one-stop payment and banking solutions. Backed by the industry's premier payments and BaaS platform, Priority is extremely well positioned to compete and drive long-term value for our shareholders."
Finxera shareholders, including Stone Point Capital LLC ("Stone Point") funds and members of the Finxera management team, will hold significant equity positions in Priority. Priority will be led by Sanj Goyle, Founder and CEO of Finxera, and Praveer Kumar, Co-Founder and CTO of Finxera. "We've been working closely together for well over a year and we're quite far along in the process of becoming one company. Our teams share a combined desire to become the world's premier partner for payments and banking services and are excited to leverage our combined assets into new and exciting verticals," stated Goyle.
