LONDON, March 29, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- AEVI and
Mastercard Payment Gateway Services (MPGS) announced an expanded
partnership today to use their combined technologies and reach to
simplify the omnichannel shopping experience.
AEVI integrates payments and data across all customer channels
by providing an open platform that is both device and solution
independent. This platform, combined with MPGS' encompassing
digital gateway services, provides merchants another choice that
brings payments straight to where the customer is -
across multiple touchpoints in-store and online.
The collaboration will see AEVI and MPGS initially focus on
Europe, with further expansion
opportunities. By providing easy access to any payment
technology and business solution, the partnership will help banks,
acquirers, PSPs, ISOs and ISVs drive digital efficiency and
innovation across their payment experiences.
In addition to the commercial relationship, Mastercard will
become a minority investor in AEVI, along with existing
shareholders Diebold Nixdorf, HPE
Growth Capital and Schroder Adveq, with Diebold Nixdorf remaining as the majority
shareholder. Financial terms of the companies' investments were not
disclosed.
Mike Camerling, AEVI's CEO commented, "The commercial
relationship and equity investment between Mastercard and AEVI will
help accelerate AEVI's goal to become an industry-standard platform
for face-to-face payment integration. AEVI will be better
positioned to support all of its customers, and to pursue more
market opportunities and to do so more rapidly."
Keith Douglas, EVP of MPGS
stated, "More than ever, we see the convergence of digital and
physical payment channels as a key driver in enhancing customer
experience. We'll look to lean into this collaboration and expanded
relationship to support our shared merchant customers and partners
in their efforts to grow and strengthen consumer
relationships."
"HPE Growth invests in outstanding management teams with strong
growth ambitions of companies that have developed leading scalable
technology. AEVI is well positioned to accelerate its current
growth trajectory and can have a real impact on the fast-changing
world of payments", adds Frederic
Huynen, Principal at HPE Growth.
David Caldwell, Diebold Nixdorf SVP Strategy & Corporate
Development, said, "We are pleased to welcome Mastercard as a
co-investor into AEVI, and for their interest in working jointly on
this rapidly developing area. Mastercard's global perspective will
be an important contributor to AEVI's growing capabilities in
meeting the needs of a wide range of its customers' rapidly growing
and evolving needs."
