Getting through all the emotions and labor of an acquisition is a feat. To make it a bit easier for you, we’ve come up with tips and a checklist based on the real cases of Fintech acquisitions. If you’re an industry insider, you must have spotted these companies making headlines. Let’s see what they can teach us.
With the acquisition of eFront, BlackRock pursued an ambitious goal. The company aimed to up the standard in investment and risk management technology and increase the accessibility of alternative assets. eFront shared this vision, which led to a balanced touch point between the two companies.
The benefits are mutual, too: while BlackRock extended its end-to-end processing capabilities, eFront added the acquirer’s analytic tools to its suite. Preserving its identity and 700 employees working at the company at the moment of acquisition, eFront seems to be all right as part of BlackRock.

With the competition from Big Tech increasing, this acquisition, a link in a chain, should have helped JPMorgan consolidate attempts to secure its digital future. The deal between the two companies resulted in JPMorgan bringing customized ESG investment options to its clients and OpenInvest getting access to JPMorgan’s vast client reach.
Another example of brand retention, this acquisition highlights the ecosystem trend ramping up in Fintech. In this context, it's no use devouring the company and erasing its brand. The more diverse “club” of relevant players you assemble and the more true partnership is in it, the stronger your market presence.

The regulatory process is still on for this acquisition initiated almost a year ago, and the reason is worth considering if you don’t want to face unexpected delays.

Despite the claim of Laurent de Moal, PayU’s CEO, that “this transaction will stimulate both innovation and competition within India’s digital payments industry,” the Competition Commission of India (CCI) started to scrutinize the deal after receiving a rival’s concern about a potential monopoly.
So, it’s worth assessing your competitors, brainstorming for “concerns” that your deal may raise, and carefully checking the regulations before announcing a deal.
