Ogone became a leader in payment processing in Europe by focusing on solving the complex problem of enabling online merchants to offer multiple forms of preferred payment methods across borders. The company sought to accelerate its growth through international expansion and acquisitions, and management chose to partner with Summit in 2010.

How Summit Partners Helped

  • Summit acquired a majority stake in Ogone in 2010
  • Helped strengthen the board and management team with industry veterans from Summit’s global network
  • Assisted with two key acquisitions that expanded Ogone’s geographic footprint and product offering
  • Worked alongside the company to optimize sales force by aligning incentives across the global organization and developing a consistent sales process
  • Helped manage the process with acquirer Ingenico, enabling management to stay focused on the business

Within three years, Ogone had expanded from its European base into Asia, Latin America, the Middle East and the United States, and had extended its product range. In 2013, Ingenico acquired Ogone for an enterprise value of €360 million.
