NETOPIA Group consolidates its holding structure seizing new stage of strategic development

NETOPIA Payments, a leader in the local market in digital payment solutions and digital marketing, received on May 12 a.c. approval of the Bucharest Tribunal for partial division.

Thus, the company transfers the payment facilitation business lines, respectively the digital marketing line via SMS, to two other new companies in the group, NETOPIA Financial Services S.R.L. and WEB2SMS S.R.L.

The reorganization approach is an important step in an extensive process of long-term strategic development in the financial services and related services sector, as well as the launch of new business lines that promote innovative technological solutions. The reorganization of the group began in 2020 and continues with the authorization process at the NBR as a payment institution of NETOPIA Financial Services S.R.L.

The consolidation of the group under the umbrella of NETOPIA Holding is an important step in the business vision of the two founders, Antonio Eram and Felix Crișan.

“NETOPIA’s activities have become increasingly complex due to the diversity of services we offer. We have new business opportunities, so we aim to build an efficient structure that will allow us to be more flexible in allocating internal resources and focus on innovation and new partnerships. In the next period, we will focus on recruiting strategic investors and we will continue to invest in ideas, teams and projects in which there is passion and vision“, said the founders of the NETOPIA group.

The entire reorganization process of the NETOPIA group is coordinated by Delia Paceagiu (Head of Legal & Compliance), with the support of the team of consultants and lawyers NOA and MH Lawyers, represented by Otilia Pețu (Managing Partner, NOA), Mircea Dumitrașcu (Partner, NOA) and Ovidiu Miheț (Managing Partner, MH Lawyers).

“The successful completion of the NETOPIA Payments division project is a first step in a complex reorganization process. We are happy to have a team of passionate and eager professionals to build with us, who understand very well our business needs and where we want to go “, said Antonio Eram, founder and CEO of the group.
