Valista was established by the merger of Network365 and iPIN in November 2003. With the merger, Valista became the premier provider of electronic, mobile payments and offer management software with a global customer base. The two companies had developed complementary technology, with Network365 focusing on mobile macro-payments technology and iPIN the dominant provider of micro-payment solutions. Valista’s technology has been proven in real-world implementations across four continents.

Amadeus has been an active investor in Network365 since leading the company’s second round of financing and was closely involved in completing the merger with iPIN. Amadeus remains an active investor in Valista.

The creation of Valista shows that synergy really is possible. The companies have complementary products, customer and partner bases as well as a joint mission and identical business models.
