“Investment from J.P. Morgan is recognition of our achievements to date in supporting the evolution of the payments industry. Looking forward, it’s validation of our vision and ability to support ever-growing demand for technology transformation,” adds Tom Kelleher, Co-Founder and Commercial Director at Icon Solutions. “We will benefit greatly from the scale and insight of a global banking leader and one of the most visionary technology companies in the world, with the flexibility and independence to pursue our innovation and growth roadmap.
