GreenBox POS and Transact Europe Commence Revenue Sharing and Licensing Cooperation
SAN DIEGO, CA, Sept. 23, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — GreenBox POS (NASDAQ: GBOX) (“GreenBox” or the “Company”), an emerging financial technology company leveraging proprietary blockchain security and token technology to build customized payment solutions, today announced the commencement of revenue sharing and bank licensing cooperation with Transact Europe in anticipation of the closing of the recently announced acquisition.
GreenBox announced the acquisition of Transact Europe Holdings OOD on July 19, 2021, pending regulatory approval from the Bulgarian National Bank. Transact Europe Holdings OOD is the single entity shareholder of Transact Europe EAD. Transact Europe EAD (TEU) is an EU regulated electronic money institution headquartered in Sofia Bulgaria and is a principal level member of Visa, worldwide member of MasterCard, and a principal member of China UnionPay.
While final approval for the acquisition is pending, GreenBox and Transact Europe have approval to begin cooperation with respect to banking capabilities, such as card issuance and processing volume on GreenBox blockchain ledger technology. Revenue sharing and licensing cooperation will remain in place until the acquisition is officially closed. Transact Europe management is incentivized to grow processing volume rapidly by an equity earnout compensation structure based on new monthly processing volume hurdles of $100M, $250M, $500M and $1B.
The acquisition will allow GreenBox to expand its offerings, including merchant accounts, payment accounts, FX services and a host of other services to prospective European clients. It will also provide GreenBox the opportunity to offer its domestic clients expansion into Europe, greatly enhancing value for its existing and prospective U.S. based clients.
“Being able to utilize TEU’s bank licensing capabilities and begin sharing revenue from processing volume is a crucial step forward for GreenBox POS as we look to develop our European footprint,” said Fredi Nisan, Chief Executive Officer of GreenBox POS. “This allows us to realize some of the benefits of the acquisition of TEU while we continuing to work towards completing it. Our expansion into the Europe is a major opportunity for us to capture significant market share outside of the U.S. We look forward to completing acquisition shortly.”
