Ingenico’s ecommerce division merges with GlobalCollect

Ingenico Payment Services’ ecommerce division is merging with GlobalCollect, and as a result it will be transforming into Ingenico ePayments. Together, the companies hope to have a wider reach and stronger offering for their customers and partners.

Ingenico Payment Services is the name its parent group gave to Ogone, the Belgian payment service provider it acquired in 2013. It is now part of the Ingenico Group, just like GlobalCollect.
