Cash Payment Solutions, known by its brand barzahlen.de, sells a 53 % stake to GLORY.

The Background Sharing sensitive data remains a major problem for many people. This is particularly true of financial data. Instead of entering credit card information or account details online and not knowing who can see and use it, many customers prefer to pay for their products at stationary points of sale. barzahlen.de targets exactly these customers. With their service, they enable people to purchase items online and pay them offline. GLORY, as a global leader in cash management, pursues similar goals, and proves to be the perfect partner for barzahlen.de for their future path.

‍

The Deal GLORY acquired 53 % of Cash Payment Solutions, a Berlin-based company that is known by its brand barzahlen.de. IEG - Investment Banking Group, under the leadership of CEO Stefan Heilmann, has acted as exclusive financial advisor to Cash Payment Solutions | barzahlen.de.
