Company Background
Planet Payment was founded in 1999 and has its headquarters in New York, with offices in New Castle, DE, Atlanta, GA, the U.K., Singapore, Bermuda, Hong Kong, Shanghai and Beijing. The company’s main objective is to assist businesses to sell to more foreign and domestic customers. They aim to help merchants sell more goods and service; to help banks sign and retain more merchants and to help consumers by providing an improved shopping experience.
In December 2017, the Fintrax Group acquired Planet Payment. Fintrax is one of the world’s leading Tax Free Shopping, Dynamic Currency Conversion, credit card processing and point of sale technology companies. It was founded in 1985 and now employs over 700 staff and covers 34 markets around the globe. Fintrax also purchased the UK’s fastest growing tax refund organisation, GB Tax Free, in 2017. These combined businesses will employ over 1000 people, operate in 55 countries and have 40 offices around the world.
Planet Payment’s CEO, Carl J. Williams said of the acquisition, “We are excited to join the Fintrax organisation and to combine our unique products and services, adding more value to our banks and acquirers. Fintrax will bring increased global scale, investment that expands our services, and ultimately deepens out relationship with our customers.”
