FINANCIAL INVESTORS
Private Equities and Venture Capitalists have been major investors in the Payments space for much of the past 15 years, with many spectacular exits. However, with the fast pace of change in payments, PE’s and VC’s often need assistance with their acquisition, which is where Fin-Serv can help. Fin-Serv is also able to identify earlier-stage opportunities that VC’s may not be aware, in the “emerging payments” space.
