Acquisition of BlockChyp brings new technology and industry expertise to Stax, furthering its evolution as a leading payment processor
Stax, a leading payment technology provider, announced its acquisition of BlockChyp, further expanding the company’s end-to-end processing capabilities. The addition of BlockChyp marks a significant, strategic expansion of Stax’s growing technology stack to drive increased value for partners and merchants and accelerate growth.
