Paysafe, a UK-based payments platform provider, has confirmed unsolicited takeover interest. The company offers a range of payment solutions, including credit and debit card processing, digital wallet, eCash, and real-time banking solutions. Its segments include Merchant Solutions and Digital Wallets, which provide payment acceptance and transaction processing solutions for merchants and integrated service providers.
Paysafe Limited, a UK-based payments platform provider, has confirmed receiving unsolicited takeover interest [1]. The company, which offers a comprehensive suite of payment solutions, including credit and debit card processing, digital wallet, eCash, and real-time banking solutions, has enlisted the help of a financial advisor to explore its options [2].With a market capitalization of approximately $1.4 billion [2], Paysafe's stock has experienced a significant decline since its $9 billion valuation upon going public in December 2020 [2]. However, this setback has not deterred the company from reporting growth in its core segments. In particular, Paysafe has experienced an increase in average transactions per active user of its digital wallets [2].
Paysafe's segments, Merchant Solutions and Digital Wallets, serve distinct markets. Merchant Solutions provides payment acceptance and transaction processing solutions for merchants and integrated service providers, including merchant acquiring, transaction processing, and fraud and risk management tools [1]. Digital Wallets, on the other hand, combines Paysafe's legacy Digital Wallet and eCash solutions and services, offering digital commerce solutions for specialized industry verticals such as iGaming, gaming, digital goods, and cryptocurrencies [1].
Despite the ongoing deliberations, no decision has been made regarding a potential sale [2]. Paysafe's reported backers, Blackstone Inc. and CVC Capital Partners, have not yet commented on the matter [2].
