According to the company’s CEO, “we see strong demand for high performance, reliable payment solutions in growth markets. Countries like India, Brazil, Malaysia and China are complex because of the range of local methods, regulations, tax, remittance, and optimization. Emergent Payments has strong technology, deep payments expertise, and opportunity to really scale.”
