Ingenico acquires TechProcess to boost payments offering in India

Tuesday 31 January 2017 00:50 CET | News

Ingenico Group, a global payment solutions provider, has reached an agreement in principle to acquire 100% of TechProcess Payment Services, an Indian electronic payments services provider, from its current shareholders.

Created in 2000, TechProcess is an online and mobile payment services provider headquartered in Mumbai with approximately 600 employees across 40 locations in India. The company has developed offerings in several markets where it built new positions, especially in online payments gateway, NACH (National Automated Clearing House), bill payments, and mobile payments. These services rely on a network of connections with Indian banks for acquiring and net-banking integration.

While 90% of retail purchases are currently paid in cash in India, electronic payments are expected to increase significantly in the coming years, pushed by recent government initiatives (demonetization of certain bank notes, launch of the national BBPS interoperable bill payments ecosystem, etc.).

The acquisition of TechProcess will support the strategy of Ingenico Group in India, where it has a significant position on the terminal market with c.50% market shares and a player in online payments through EBS, an Ingenico ePayments entity. As a result, Ingenico Group will further expand its footprint in the country, and, ultimately, offer cross-border capabilities.
