Now, we are taking a natural next step by integrating payment processing capabilities. This marks a significant evolution for Aleph, reflecting our belief in the ongoing shift from offline GDP to digital GDP, and driving even greater value creation for our partners and clients. We're starting in Latin America and plan to roll out operations both organically and via acquisitions in Africa, the Middle East and Asia, where we already have a strong local presence."

    Ezequiel Israel, CEO of Localpayment stated: "We're thrilled to be part of Aleph's journey and mission. This deal accelerates our growth and gives us direct access to the global digital platforms, brands and online retailers that Aleph has long been associated with and provides them with a compelling combined offer."
