Shares of Priority Technology Holdings Inc. were up 39% to $7.05 after it completed the purchase of banking-as-a-service company Finxera Holdings Inc. and projected combined 2021 pro forma revenue of $547 million to $570 million.
Payment technology company Priority said that with the deal it “becomes one of a handful of companies with nationwide money transmitter licensing that allows us to act as a fully licensed custodian of funds for consumers and enterprises.”
The companies said in March that the transaction would include $375 million in cash and $50 million in stock.
Stone Point Capital LLC and other Finxera stockholders will retain “meaningful” equity positions in Priority.
