KindCard Announces Intent to Acquire OpenTransact, Aiming to Revolutionize High-Risk Transactions

FinTech company KindCard has revealed its intention to acquire financial platform OpenTransact, marking a significant move in revolutionizing high-risk transactions. KindCard's subsidiary Deb specializes in offering businesses alternative 'closed-loop' payment options, while OpenTransact is recognized for its self-serve banking platform catering to high-risk businesses, prioritizing security, risk management, and regulatory compliance.

OpenTransact's CEO, William Clark, expressed excitement about the potential collaboration, sharing a vision to transform high-risk transactions. KindCard's CEO, Michael Rosen, stated that the acquisition would empower his company to provide high-risk merchants with secure and reliable payment processing options, enhancing the customer online shopping experience.

KindCard anticipates the growing role of mobile wallets in payment methods and aims to capture a significant market share through its app. The move aligns with consumer trends, as a joint research study by PYMNTS Intelligence and Nuvei indicates a rising interest in digital wallets, with speed, convenience, and security cited as key factors influencing consumer choices.

The partnership reflects KindCard's strategic vision to offer innovative payment solutions, leveraging the strengths of both companies to navigate the evolving landscape of digital transactions and financial services.
