The Payments Group Holding – Name change entered in commercial register

Frankfurt/Main, 24 September 2024 – The Payments Group Holding (“PGH”), until yesterday still trading as SGT German Private Equity, a Frankfurt-based holding, completed its separation from the SGT Capital Group on 23 September 2024 with the entry of the name change resolved in August, in the German commercial register and is turning its full attention to its future, which was shaped by the acquisition announced on 13 August 2024.

The new name reflects PGH's business model following its three recent acquisitions - Funanga AG, Campamocha Ltd. along with its two subsidiaries Calida Financial Ltd. and TWBS Ltd., and Surfer Rosa Ltd. These internationally active companies provide internet payment services globally, specializing in a high-margin niche within the payment services industry, and successfully collaborate across markets.

With this transaction, PGH transforms into a profitable, fast-growing FinTech group based in Germany, boasting around 50 employees and more than 500,000 technically integrated points of sale, including kiosks, retailers, and petrol stations, across over 20 countries.

The ticker symbol has already been changed from “SGF” to “PGH”.
