Israelis may get new credit cards – media 23 This is due to the active promotion of the fintech company Rapyd. The company intends to enter the credit card market, challenging established leaders such as Isracard , MAX and CAL . According to Calcalist, to realize its ambitions, Rapyd has submitted an application to the Israel Securities Authority for an expanded acquiring license , which will allow it to issue its own credit cards. The company is optimistic, albeit with some caution. Rapyd’s success is supported by partnerships with large local businesses, which strengthens its position in the competition for a license. This initiative was made possible by regulatory changes: the responsibility for issuing acquiring licenses was recently transferred from the Bank of Israel to the Securities Authority. However, the Bank of Israel continues to supervise traditional financial companies. If the license is approved, Rapyd will be the first organization to receive such a license from the new regulator. The market breakthrough is a continuation of Rapyd’s aggressive expansion strategy. In 2022, the company acquired PayU GPO from Prosus for $610 million. This acquisition provides access to a broad payment solutions market in more than 30 countries across Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Latin America, excluding key regions such as India, Turkey and Southeast Asia. PayU GPO specializes in services for small and medium-sized businesses, especially in developing countries, which has strengthened Rapyd’s global expansion. Another major deal was the acquisition of Icelandic company Valitor in 2021 for $100 million. Later in 2022, Rapyd was valued at $15 billion, confirming its leadership in the fintech sector. The company currently has around 120 employees in its Icelandic division. Previously, “Cursor” reported which companies’ products will increase in price from January 1st. Share this:
