GPS + Corpay Announcement
June 19, 2024
Today, I’m excited to announce that GPS Capital Markets has entered into an agreement in which Corpay, Inc. (NYSE: CPAY), a prominent global provider of employee expense management and corporate payments solutions, will purchase 100% of GPS Capital. As part of this agreement, GPS will become part of Corpay Cross-Border, which offers currency risk management and hedging solutions, foreign exchange, and international payment automation.
GPS is truly a global fintech success story. Established in 2002, GPS has evolved into one of the top providers of corporate foreign exchange services, helping companies manage their foreign currency risk and conduct foreign currency transactions. Our world-class business owes its success to our dedicated and innovative employees, our strong commitment to providing exceptional client service, and the unwavering support of our clients.
This partnership enhances our ability to invest in technology, expand payment delivery channels, and increase our geographic presence. With Corpay’s strong balance sheet and liquidity we will be able to offer greater credit flexibility and expand our local banking partnerships. With the financial backing of a large, New York Stock Exchange-listed company we will only improve and build upon the innovative solutions, award-winning technology, and outstanding service that you know us for.
The acquisition will not affect our day-to-day operations in the near term, and the account executives who currently service and manage your accounts will remain the same.
The transaction is tentatively expected to close at year-end and is subject to customary legal and regulatory approvals. The following FAQ addresses commonly asked questions regarding this announcement. For further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact your GPS Representative.
