Synovus Bank leverages Qualpay payment technology
Qualpay provides a cloud-based platform that combines a payment gateway with merchant processing, allowing merchants and independent software vendors to integrate payments into their software or websites. Synovus Bank will invest in Qualpay, resulting in a 60 percent ownership interest. Synovus has also chosen to leverage Qualpay’s payments technology as an integral part of Maast, the bank’s new money-as-a-service offering. Maast will combine embedded payments and embedded banking on one platform, accessed via a common integration layer and a single onboarding experience. Maast will allow vendors to offer payment processing, deposit accounts, debit cards and loans as features in their software, under their brand, backed by Synovus.
