Its comprehensive platform for SMBs, CardPointe, offers mobile, terminal and integrated payment solutions with a full-service online management system. CardSecure®, a gateway integrated with the Oracle, SAP and JD Edwards ERP systems, secures transactions through data breach protection and PCI scope reduction. CardConnect also offers card-present and card-not-present PCI-validated point-to-point encryption (P2PE), and its patented tokenization engine surpasses the industry’s increasing security requirements.

Betsy Cohen, previously the chairman of the board of FinTech and a current member of the board of CardConnect, commented, “I am absolutely delighted with this merger and to be a part of the beginning of CardConnect’s new life as a public company. Chief Executive Officer Jeff Shanahan and his skilled and experienced management team have a strategy and plan to leverage this new platform to rapidly grow CardConnect in this large and fragmented market and in the process create value for its shareholders. I am thrilled to be part of what I believe will be one of the most exciting companies in a dynamic industry.”

Jeff Shanahan, President and Chief Executive Officer of CardConnect, stated, “We are extremely excited to have transitioned CardConnect to become an independent, public company. This merger creates opportunities for us to grow in many ways – from engaging with even more businesses to solve their evolving payment acceptance needs, to continuing to attract a talented and passionate team, and pursuing strategic, accretive acquisitions. Everyone at CardConnect looks forward to expanding our franchise by helping merchants of all sizes and creating value for our shareholders.”
