Bringing Payments Companies & Investors Together

The electronic transactions business has long been an area of interest to the investment community. From the early days of enabling acceptance of credit cards, to the current environment of alternative payments and technologies, the merchant acquiring industry represents a profitable, growth-oriented market. Recently, the early signs of recovery from the economic downturn have spurred a significant upsurge in interest from investment banks, venture capitalists and private equity firms in the payments sector.

In response to the opportunities presented by these market dynamics, ETA is proud to announce its inaugural "Investment Community Forum" to be held Tuesday, April 13 in conjunction with the 2010 ETA Annual Meeting & Expo.

Whether you are a stakeholder in the payments supply chain or an investor looking to learn more about the players and potential, this event offers you unparalleled access, education and information on opportunities in the ever-expanding electronic transactions business.
