Acquisition Of Paymerica By Yapstone
Recent reports revealed that the Yapstone, Inc
has taken over the total assets of the privately
owned Paymerica. It is the industry leader in
electronic processing of the payment to the
property management industry, LLC ('Paymerica').
It is an independent sales organization (ISO),
which processes more than $1.2 billion every
year. Paymerica was mainly dealing with credit &
debit card processing & electronic check
processing to different apartments, different
rental properties & other real estate products
handling. Yapstone got interested in this deal
due to utility business nature. In the midst of
falling volumes in business even for the big
giants, Yapstone Inc is making stable feet in
the high growth revenue segment due to this
acquisition.
Mainly Paymerica consists of two different
businesses. One being the ISO merchant segment
and the other one is the providers of largest
electronic payments for the utility industry.
According to the sources from Yapstone this
takeover has made them one of the prominent in
the utility segment. They are planning to
recruit new ISO & brokers to market Yapstone's
technology platform and also to look after
Yapstone’s SE sales processing services.
According to the deal they will retain all the
staff of Paymerica and its founders. Paymerica’s
co-founder Charles Yancey commented that they
are really happy to join the Yapstone team
because their advanced technology can offers
really good solution to their sale's group,
which gives them upper hand, compared to other
ISOs. Paymerica’s other co-founder David Bork
added that Yapstone's recent growth stats &
excellent leadership made them to think about
this tie up.
Thomas Villante, Yapstone’s Chairman stated
that, this tie up has cleared the road for
Yapstone to expand its vertical market centric
approach to the utilities market and increase
the sales effort into the ISO market. According
to Golis, Paymerica is an ISO for Nashville,
which has its head quarters at Tenn and is an
I-payment Inc. It says that Yapstone that is the
nation’s largest merchant acquirer and it is
providing service to Chase paymentech. But it
does have its own merchant setup & does its own
merchant underwriting. Commenting further Golis
added that, those new merchants who will be
booked through the Paymerica channel would be
boarded through the Chase paymentech Channel.
Yapstone commented that, Introduction of
incentive interchange rates for recurring
payment merchants by Master card Inc. will help
to develop an under developed card market.

private companies were not disclosed.

co-founders, Charles Yancey and David Bork and

processor of the property management industry.
All the community banks are able to process the
credit & debit cards processing smoothly due to
the Yapstone’s technological services. The one
maid for dues payment, which is a culmination of
8 years & over quarter million lines of
proprietary code, is the most robust and unified
payment and reporting engine. This reporting
engine is specifically designed to cater the
special needs of the property management
industry.
