Electronic Merchant Systems (EMS), a leader in the financial technology and payments sector, has completed its acquisition of Paysley, an omnichannel payment platform. Paysley will become a wholly owned subsidiary of the EMS corporation, but will continue to operate as an independent brand, serving businesses directly and through agent, ISO, and ISV partnerships.

Paysley recently announced Paysley Tap to Pay on iPhone, adding to its all-in-one, cloud-based payment solution.

"Working with Paysley has been an incredible journey. Their innovation and drive have already made a strong impact, and now that they've formally joined the EMS family, I can't wait to see what we build together," said Afshin Yazdian, CEO and Executive Chairman of EMS.

"On behalf of everyone here at Paysley, we're thrilled to officially join forces under the EMS banner," added Chris Roets, founder of Paysley. "We're deeply grateful to Afshin and the entire EMS team for their continued support and shared vision as we evolve our partnership and modernize the payment ecosystem."
