Shift4, a US-based supplier of built-in funds and commerce expertise, has agreed to accumulate Smartpay, for NZ$296.4 million (roughly US$180 million).
Smartpay offers cost processing and point-of-sale options to over 40,000 retailers throughout Australia and New Zealand via an intensive distribution community.
The deal values Smartpay at NZ$1.20 per share, representing a 46.5% premium over its 90-day volume-weighted common value.
The acquisition is anticipated to shut within the fourth quarter of 2025, pending regulatory approvals.
Shift4 stated the transaction is in step with its world enlargement technique, which includes pairing native distribution and repair capabilities with its proprietary cost infrastructure.
The corporate has utilized an identical strategy in different markets, together with Germany, the UK, and Eire.
“This acquisition follows the Shift4 playbook to a tee. It deepens our strategic presence in Australia and New Zealand, offering a major alternative to supply our full suite of software program and funds options within the area.
By combining our cost infrastructure with Smartpay’s distribution capabilities, we’re properly positioned to go-to-market at scale within the area with our main services corresponding to SkyTab POS for eating places, SkyTab Venue for stadiums and arenas, and our end-to-end cost resolution for accommodations and unified commerce retailers.”
stated Shift4 CEO Taylor Lauber.
