With advanced infrastructures at our disposal, Equens is at your service as the first truly pan-European, full-service payment processor within the SEPA market. We combine the extensive experience, expertise and volumes of two of Europe’s largest payment processors: the Dutch Interpay Nederland B.V. and the German Transaktionsinstitut für Zahlungsverkehrsdienstleistungen AG. In 2006, the merger of these two market leaders resulted in the establishment of Equens, the first mover in the consolidating European payments market. For the first two years, Equens has been operating as holding company Equens N.V., comprising two primary legal country organisations: Equens Nederland B.V. and Equens Deutschland AG.
As of 17 July 2008, Equens Nederland B.V. and Equens Deutschland AG merged into the Equens N.V.. This was immediately followed by the conversion of the former holding company Equens N.V. into Equens SE, a Societas Europaea¹ with statutory headquarters in Utrecht, the Netherlands.
With best-of-breed technology and modular, cost-efficient processing services we offer tremendous potential for the future of payment processing. With large processing volumes and drawing on years of experience at the forefront of the industry, Equens knows the payments market like none other. And is ideally positioned to leverage its impressive heritage for the future.
¹The Societas Europaea is a legal form under the laws of the European Union. Since the end of 2004, this legal form is provided by the EU to enable companies to establish European public limited-liability companies, which are governed by a largely uniform body of law.
