Industry Dive acquires Mobile Payments Today

Business news organization Industry Dive announced Wednesday its acquisition of Mobile Payments Today, which is focused on mobile payments projects and technology, for an undisclosed amount.

Under the agreement, Mobile Payments Today will continue to publish under its regular format until Payments Dive, Industry Dive’s planned publication dedicated to the market, launches March 1.

This acquisition is Industry Dive’s third in the last seven months.

“The acquisition of Mobile Payments Today will give us a foothold into the payments market with readers and followers already invested in the topic,” said Industry Dive CEO Sean Griffey in a statement. “We are always evaluating acquisitions as we determine the next audience a Dive will serve and expect to do more.”

Industry Dive has 22 publications.
