PayGroup has been acquired by Evertec, Inc.
July 2017 — Mater Private Equity has sold PayGroup to Evertec, Inc.

With 20 years of experience, the company was created by a group of entrepreneurial engineers who detected a need in the financial industry and developed a successful business idea, from which they were able to build a company that today competes in the most complex markets of the region and is a leader in Latin America.
