## Source summary

PYMNTS reports on Priority Commerce's acquisition of IntelliPay, whose software supports card and ACH acceptance across online, mobile, in-person and recurring channels for government, education and healthcare organizations. Priority's August 26 SEC filing says the transaction signed and closed on August 25 for USD 11.5 million, subject to adjustments, plus up to USD 3.5 million of earnout payments over eight fiscal quarters. The company expects just over USD 4 million of incremental revenue during the remainder of 2026.

## Why it matters

The completed acquisition expands a U.S. merchant-acquiring and treasury platform into public-sector collections and billing through an existing specialist. The SEC filing supports the closing and consideration, while the revenue contribution remains Priority's expectation. Customer count, transaction volume, integration outcomes and achieved payment-performance improvement are undisclosed, and the transaction establishes no cross-border corridor or settlement change.

## Key numbers

- **Cash consideration, subject to adjustments:** USD 11.5 million
- **Maximum earnout over eight fiscal quarters:** USD 3.5 million
- **Incremental revenue Priority expects for the remainder of 2026:** just over USD 4 million
