As part of their co-operation and co-investment in Planet, a leading provider of integrated payments, Advent International (“Advent”) and Eurazeo have today acquired Datatrans AG (“Datatrans” or “the Company”) and will now co-own the company.
Datatrans is a highly innovative, digital payment solutions provider for more than 5,000 online merchants, including sophisticated multi-national firms. With more than 20 years’ experience across a wide range of industry sectors, Datatrans has become a trusted partner for online businesses, providing them with a single payment gateway for secure payment processing and fraud prevention.
The Company also helps online businesses secure Payment Card Industry compliance more easily by using PCI Proxy, an innovative modern platform which converts sensitive card data into a token before it reaches an online merchant’s system.
Datatrans has built a strong reputation for giving its customers access to the most profitable payment methods and allowing them to fully exploit their sales potential. By offering configurable, rather than off-the-shelf solutions, Datatrans can adapt to the individual needs of online merchants. Combining the Datatrans online and digital capabilities with the in-person, global payment processing of Planet, creates an innovative new “one stop shop” that will deliver merchants’ payments needs through a single payment partner.
The new investment will support the Company’s position as the market leader in secure online payments and enable Datatrans to expand into new European markets and deliver new innovative uses for its PCI Proxy platform across Retail, Gaming and Digital services throughout North America and Europe.
“We’re excited to work with Advent and Eurazeo to fuel the next phase of growth for Datatrans,” said Thomas S. Willenborg, Chief Executive Officer at Datatrans. “The investment will extend the number of markets we can operate in and grow the number of customers we reach with PCI Proxy. The partnership with Planet will allow us to combine online and in-store capabilities to adapt to the individual needs of merchants bringing out the best for their business today, tomorrow and in the future”.

Sometimes our e-mails end up in spam. Make sure to check your spam folder for e-mails from The Payments Association
Most modern e-mail clients now separate e-mails into different tabs. For example, Outlook has an “Other” tab, and Gmail has tabs for different types of e-mails, such as promotional.
For security reasons the link will expire after 60 minutes. Try submitting the login form again and wait a few seconds for the e-mail to arrive.
The link will only work one time – once it’s been clicked, the link won’t log you in again. Instead, you’ll need to go back to the login screen and generate a new link.
Make sure you’re clicking the link on the most recent e-mail that’s been sent to you. We recommend deleting the e-mail once you’ve clicked the link.
Some security systems will automatically click on links in e-mails to check for phishing, malware, viruses and other malicious threats. If these have been clicked, it won’t work when you try to click on the link.
For security reasons, e-mail address changes can only be complete by your Member Engagement Manager. Please contact the team directly for further help.
