Euronet Acquires HiFX<br />
Transaction Details (cont.)<br />
Strategic Rationale for the Deal<br />
• Complements Euronet’s existing money transfer business<br />
– Euronet is already the number three player in the Consumer Remittance<br />
market (behind Western Union <strong>and</strong> MoneyGram)<br />
– Putting together HiFX <strong>and</strong> Ria should enable Euronet to broaden its product<br />
offerings, exp<strong>and</strong> its geographical presence, <strong>and</strong> accelerate the growth of both<br />
businesses<br />
• Brings diversity <strong>and</strong> adds a fast growing revenue stream<br />
– HiFX caters to affluent consumers <strong>and</strong> small to medium sized businesses<br />
compared with Ria’s focus largely on migrant workers sending money back<br />
home; on average, HiFX’s transaction sizes are substantially larger than Ria’s<br />
• Enhances Euronet’s online transfer capabilities<br />
– HiFX has already developed a leading online platform that will complement<br />
Ria’s recently launched online transfer service<br />
• Leverage’s Euronet’s existing banking relationships<br />
– Euronet has many longst<strong>and</strong>ing relationships with banks across Europe <strong>and</strong><br />
Asia; HiFX <strong>and</strong> Euronet should be able to leverage these relationships to enter<br />
new markets<br />
