There is no doubt that Valitor is a well-established payments brand, as well as one of Europe’s leading payment providers. In Iceland, the United Kingdom, Ireland, and across Europe, Valitor offers both in-store and online payment acceptance options, as well as card issuance to SMB merchants.

By acquiring Valitor, Rapyd will be able to complement its extensive payment capabilities across Europe, while diversifying its issuing portfolio at the same time.

According to Rapyd’s announcement this week, after the firm raised a significant round of funding, the firm is actively searching for opportunities to acquire businesses, “targeting strong payments companies and enabling them to enhance their capabilities through the Rapyd Global Payments Network,” the company explained.

As a result of its strong European market position, the acquisition of Valitor will enable clients from any sector to become more efficient in integrating omni-channel payments, expanding into new markets, flattening FX fees, and thereby unlocking revenue and growth potential that they would otherwise be unable to reach.
