Fintech unicorn Razorpay has acquired a stake in PoS (point of sales) payments solution provider Ezetap.  

According to the regulatory filings of Ezetap’s Singapore-based holding company, accessed by Entrakr, this deal is a mix of primary and secondary transactions and the fintech unicorn is expected to acquire over 80 per cent stake in Ezetap. The deal value is reportedly in the range of $100-$120 million.

This acquisition marks digital payments provider Razorpay’s entry into the PoS space. As of July 2022, Ezetap has deployed over 2,30,000 smart service points (PoS devices) on its platform for clients ranging from brick-and-mortar retailers, e-commerce players, leading enterprises, and financial inclusion organisations. Ezetap said it processes transactions worth over $2 billion annually.
