Banking giant JP Morgan has signed a deal to buy a 48.5% stake in the payments fintech Viva Wallet for more than $800 million dollars.
JP Morgan announced in January of 2022 that it had agreed to acquire a stake in the Athens-based Viva Wallet company.
The stake is to be acquired from Viva Wallet’s minority shareholders, including the Latsis family office, which holds about 13% of the firm, British fund Hedosophia with about 24% and Deca Investments with about 10%.
POS providers have been racing to provide more services and features to stand out as their industry becomes increasingly competitive.
Many of the offerings that were once an advantage — integrating across ordering channels, kitchen display system compatibility, digital wallet acceptance and so on — have become table stakes, such that providers are now looking to offer increasingly specific solutions.
Cloud-based Viva Wallet, which operates in 23 countries across Europe, provides card acceptance services through its POS application, add-on Google play devices and advanced payment systems in online stores.

The internet has come a long way since Tim Berners-Lee invented the world wide web in 1989. Now, in an era of growing concern over privacy, he believes it’s time for us to reclaim our personal data.
Through their startup Inrupt, Berners-Lee and CEO John Bruce have created the “Solid Pod” — or Personal Online Data Store. It allows people to keep their data in one central place and control which people and applications can access it, rather than having it stored by apps or sites all over the web.
New users can get a Pod from a handful of providers, hosted by web services such as Amazon, or run their own server, if they have they the technical know-how. The main attraction to self-hosting is control and privacy, says Berners-Lee.
Inrupt’s platform is being tested by the UK’s National Health Service and by the government of the Belgian region of Flanders. The latter plans to use Pods to let its citizens choose how to share their personal data.
Launched in 2017, Inrupt reportedly raised $30 million in December 2021 and Berners-Lee says it will help deliver the next iteration of the web — “Web 3.”
Berners-Lee hopes his platform will give control back to internet users. “I think the public has been concerned about privacy — the fact that these platforms have a huge amount of data, and they abuse it,” he says.
“But I think what they’re missing sometimes is the lack of empowerment. You need to get back to a situation where you have autonomy, you have control of all your data.”

Payments processing company Stripe announced a so-called “fiat-to-crypto on-ramp” to make payments easier for Web3 companies.
The service, which crypto companies can use to let their customers exchange dollars for crypto, will also handle fraud, compliance, and know-your-customer checks.
Stripe said blockchain-based gaming companies could use Stripe’s new widget to onboard players and let them add money to wallets. It is a seamless checkout experience, optimized for conversion, allowing for instant settlement of crypto.
The new onramp is customizable widget developers can embed directly into their DEX, NFT platform, wallet, or dApp. Consistent with Stripe’s focus on simplicity and developer experience, it can be integrated with just 10 lines of code:
The on-ramp will also help the customers of blockchain-based companies avoid some of the headaches that come with crypto. “It’s extremely difficult to get new end users ‘on chain’— that is, to fund their wallets with the crypto required to interface with Web3 applications.” wrote Stripe in their blog.
Companies like blockchain-based music streaming platform Audius, NFT marketplace Magic Eden, and crypto wallet company Argent are already using the onramp, Stripe said.
“Despite recent events, we remain excited about the underlying prospects for innovation.”
