RUPAY payment system sold to RBC for $ 5 million
There is still happiness in the world, say the founders of the payment system RUpay. Now they can think so, as can millions from the sale of a controlling stake in the most mysterious Russian EPS.
Fact: RosBusinessConsulting (RBC) has become the owner of at least a controlling stake in Ruspey LLC (RUpay electronic payment system). The amount of the transaction is about 5 million dollars.
“Rupey” has always pleased the participants of the electronic payments market with their unconventional moves, positioning changes, rebranding. Just a few examples:
')
- At first, the company is trying to occupy a segment of payments between Russia and Ukraine (according to legend, the names of the countries are laid in the first two letters), and then disavows the southern neighbor.
- The administration in each interview talks about the absence of a banking license, and then suddenly opens the service of depositing funds for several days.
All this is accompanied by constant and rarely confirmed backstage rumors about the terrible leakiness of the system and no less constant talk about the imminent sale to some large holding.
Actually, the news of the sale of RUpay was waiting for another at the May press conference of the company. As a buyer, RBC was most often called - long ago it was time for them to acquire their own payment instrument. But even the fact of being present at that event (he was eventually devoted to re-branding and launching a new version of the system) Timur Aitov only made him mist. No confirmation followed.
After that, there was an uncharacteristic for RUpay pause in “external activity”, which was explained by personnel changes: directing “public relations”, instead of sending Ruslan Popov back to ChronoPay, lured Andrei Sevostyanov. Apparently it is Andrei who in the coming days will comment on the purchase by RBC of a controlling stake in Ruspei LLC. Happinnes exists.
