HopOn, an Israeli company that provides mobile payment solutions for public transportation, has announced that it is expanding its activity for the European market by acquiring UK-based ECR, a payment solution for public transit and leisure venues, for $10 million. The news comes shortly after the company announced that it had secured a $10 million investment from UMI Auto Group.
“Acquiring ECR is the first step in HopOn’s strategic plan to enter the European market,” explained Amir Rosenzweig, HopOn CEO. “It will allow quick and seamless marketing of HopOn’s smart solutions and technologies to British companies, introducing smart solutions to sectors in which HopOn has been previously inactive.”
