TSYS to acquire Utah payments firm

Columbus-based payment technology company TSYS this week signed an agreement to acquire a Utah-based company that provides mobile payment systems to merchants and individual entrepreneurs.

TSYS Chairman and CEO Philip Tomlinson said in a news release the acquisition of ProPay will allow the company “to capitalize on the explosive growth of mobile (payments) and more effectively compete in the small and micro-merchant segment.”

ProPay has among its products a mobile payment reader that connects to tablets and smartphones.

The deal is expected to close later this year, and ProPay will operate as a TSYS subsidiary. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
