In a significant move that enhances its position in the digital payments arena, Fat Zebra (FZB) has completed the acquisition of SecurePay from Australia Post, further broadening its capabilities and service offerings in the sector. This transaction marks Fat Zebra’s third successful acquisition over the past 14 months, following their earlier strategic acquisitions of Adatree in February 2024 and Pin Payments in December 2024.
Fat Zebra, known for processing over 250 million transactions annually, serves an extensive network of more than 38,000 merchants and platforms. This latest acquisition brings SecurePay — a service that caters to over 35,000 businesses and has been a subsidiary of Australia Post since 2010 — under its umbrella. SecurePay has been at the forefront of online payment processing in Australia, making it a valuable addition to Fat Zebra's expanding suite of digital payment solutions.
The integration of SecurePay into Fat Zebra’s infrastructure is poised to create a robust platform that will cater to a broad spectrum of Australian businesses, ranging from budding startups to well-established digital giants. The acquisition not only enhances Fat Zebra's service capabilities but also aligns with its strategic goal to cement itself as the leading payment partner in the country. Among Fat Zebra's notable clients are major players such as Sportsbet, RACQ, PayPal (NASDAQ:PYPL), Zip (ASX:Z1P), Aussie Broadband (ASX:ABB), and Revolution Sport.
Pred Dragila, founder and chief executive officer of Fat Zebra, commented on the acquisition, stating, “This is more than an acquisition — it's a strategic move in Australian payments. SecurePay's long-standing merchant relationships are a valuable part of the ecosystem, and by combining them with Fat Zebra's modern infrastructure, we're delivering a more powerful platform for Australian businesses.”
The strategic acquisition of SecurePay by Fat Zebra underscores the dynamic nature of the digital payments industry, where consolidation and integration are increasingly becoming key strategies for growth and enhanced service delivery. With this move, Fat Zebra not only broadens its operational scope but also reinforces its commitment to providing cutting-edge payment solutions that support the diverse needs of the Australian market. As the digital payments landscape continues to evolve, Fat Zebra’s enhanced capabilities are expected to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of commerce in the region.
