The Payments Group receives an e-money license
Frankfurt am Main, 4. September 2024 – Calida Financial Ltd., a Malta-based internet payment service provider in which The Payments Group Holding (“PGH”), currently still trading as SGT German Private Equity and based in Frankfurt am Main, as well as in other payment service providers, acquired (indirectly) a majority stake on August 13, 2024, has received an e-money license from the Maltese financial regulator MFSA. This license authorizes Calida Financial Ltd. to offer innovative e-money services and products throughout Europe. The license is now to be activated in all EU member states as part of the passporting process provided for this purpose. Seth Iorio, board member and founder of Funanga AG and designated managing director of The Payments Group Holding, and Jens Bader, CEO of Calida Financial Ltd., expect this development to lead to a significant increase in sales for the payment service providers operating under the ‘The Payments Group’ brand.
Jens Bader, CEO of Calida Financial Ltd., commented: “The process of obtaining an e-money license is extremely demanding and requires the establishment and maintenance of comprehensive structures and processes for the operation of a financial institution. Our team in Malta is proud and relieved to have now reached this milestone. This opens up numerous new opportunities for us that many of our customers have been waiting for. This development significantly strengthens our competitive position and accelerates our growth.”
