Jonas Software Announces the Acquisition of CORVID Paygate

Wallingford, Oxfordshire, United Kingdom, June 24, 2019 – Jonas Software (“Jonas”) is pleased to announce the acquisition of CORVID Paygate (“paygate) from Ultra Electronics Holdings plc (“Ultra”). Paygate is a payment processing software business that provides data validation and services to support automated banking and e-commerce transactions.

“The acquisition of CORVID Paygate reflects our ongoing commitment to acquiring complementary payment technologies with synergies across Jonas UK and Europe,” says Scott Saklad, Group CEO of Jonas UK and Europe. “It is a great opportunity to acquire a premium payment processing software provider that helps customers efficiently manage their cash flow, reduce costs and deal with emerging industry standards and regulations. We are excited to welcome the Paygate customers and employees to the Jonas family of businesses.”

Simon Pryce, CEO of Ultra, says, “Jonas is the perfect home for Paygate as they continue to grow and expand their payment processing portfolio. Paygate has some excellent technology, but has little in common with the rest of the Group, and has better growth prospects with an owner who has specific interests and capability in developing payments processing and software. We’d like to thank our CORVID Paygate employees for their contribution to Ultra and wish them and the business the very best of success under their new ownership.”
