Ingo Money Announces Growth Investment by Camden Partners

Atlanta, Georgia (PRWEB) October 07, 2013

Ingo Money, Inc. (“INGO®”), a leader in risk management technology supporting non-provisional check deposit and money transfer services with full funds availability in minutes, announced today it has closed on a growth equity investment led by Camden Partners, a Baltimore-based growth equity firm. The investment will be used to accelerate development and expansion of the Ingo Good Funds Network, a proprietary remote deposit capture and money movement platform that offers identity-verified consumers frictionless access to their money and eliminates funding risk for bank issuers to meet systemic consumer cash flow and payments needs. Ingo transforms financial services by providing consumers with access to funds in minutes via irreversible mobile wallet loads to eligible Visa card accounts.

“Earlier this year, we launched the network in partnership with Visa and four Visa Prepaid program managers,” said Drew Edwards, founder and CEO of Ingo Money, “and we recently transitioned to commercial launch with dozens of issuer programs. It is our belief at Ingo Money that all consumers are in need of a trusted solution that seamlessly supports digital deposits, transfers and access to their money on their terms and their timetable. We are delivering this capability to consumers through our white-label Ingo Enterprise Solutions platform and through the direct-to-consumer, Ingo-branded network marketed to our customers by our program partners.”

Ingo proudly welcomes Shane Kim, Partner and Managing Member of Camden Partners, and industry veteran, Vince Talbert, to its Board of Directors. Vince Talbert is currently the CEO of GiveCorps, an online giving platform. Prior to GiveCorps, Vince was vice president of Merchant Services for PayPal. He joined PayPal through the $1 billion acquisition of Bill Me Later, Inc., for which he served as co-founder and head of marketing.

“Clearly, Ingo Money has been the leader in the remote capture of physical checks by providing quick access to funds with the highest approval rates,” commented Vince Talbert. “Now, in partnership with Visa, Ingo is leveraging these capabilities to create a unique consumer product that will enable millions of consumers to participate fully in digital banking and e-commerce. I am excited to join the Ingo Money Board of Directors and to work alongside the Company’s management team and Camden Partners to help guide them through these exciting opportunities.”

“Vince Talbert has been a true leader and a visionary where technology and financial services have intersected,” said Shane Kim. “His insight, experience and value from the board level make him a natural fit for this stage of Ingo Money’s growth. The Company’s technology platform is well positioned to unlock significant value in an underpenetrated segment for card networks, issuers and mobile wallet providers.”

Raymond James acted as the Company’s exclusive financial advisor and placement agent in the transaction. Nelson Mullins represented the Company.
