OpenEdge is an American company providing financial technology services via payment processing integration.[4] Headquartered in Lindon, Utah, OpenEdge is a subsidiary of Global Payments whose stock is a component of the S&P 500 stock market index.
Business
OpenEdge provides payment processing services to merchants, allowing them to accept credit and debit cards, along with other payment types (this role is known as a merchant acquirer). In return, they receive a percentage of the transaction value (usually about 1-2% for credit cards). They provide these services both directly to merchants, and indirectly through other financial organizations. OpenEdge also develops new software for clients to better integrate with existing systems.[4]
OpenEdge's parent organization is a Fortune 1000 company.[5]
History
In October 2012, Global Payments acquired the smaller Accelerated Payment Technologies for $413 million.[6]
In October 2014, Global Payments announced the rebranding of its vertical markets under the new subsidiary brand of OpenEdge. [7]
In January 2015, it bought Payment Processing (also known as PayPros), a California company, for $420 million.[8] Accelerated Payment Technologies and PayPros operated under the new name of OpenEdge.
In 2018, Global Payments completed acquisition of AdvancedMD - a partner of OpenEdge.[9]
On May 28, 2019, Global Payments announced a $21.5 billion merger with TSYS. The merger is expected to trigger a Federal Trade Commission investigation.[10] OpenEdge's role in the merger is unclear at this time.
