Payroc Completes Acquisition of BlueSnap
Combined Platform Accelerates Global CNP and AR Automation
CHICAGO — Payroc, a leading payments platform and merchant acquirer, recently celebrated the successful completion of its acquisition of BlueSnap. This acquisition unites Payroc's robust payment processing capabilities with BlueSnap's innovative payment orchestration and automation solutions.
The announcement comes after a definitive agreement was signed, marking a significant step in Payroc’s plan to enhance its global payment solutions. With this merger, the BlueSnap technology and team will seamlessly integrate into Payroc's operations, effective immediately.
Benefits of the Acquisition
This strategic collaboration brings together the strengths of both companies. Payroc’s direct acquirer capabilities are now complemented by BlueSnap’s API-first orchestration, resulting in a streamlined solution for cross-border card-not-present (CNP) transactions. Additionally, clients will benefit from embedded invoicing solutions and improved accounts-receivable automation.
By merging these capabilities, Payroc will empower its customers and independent software vendors (ISVs) to gain access to local acquiring in critical markets, along with unified billing and reconciliation processes. The integration of developer-focused tools further aids in reducing time-to-market for global commerce initiatives.

With BlueSnap's orchestration layer integrated into our acquiring network, we can deliver enterprise-grade global CNP coverage and automated receivables at scale while maintaining the high-touch service our partners expect." This sentiment reflects the commitment to innovative solutions through the merger.
Gavin Cicchinelli, President of BlueSnap, echoed similar sentiments, stating, "This is a game-changer for our customers. They'll gain scaled distribution and enhanced resources to accelerate global innovation, all supported by Payroc's robust acquiring relationships and service-oriented approach."
