Going forward, iDeposit provides SCS with a platform and a team of professionals that have the technical expertise necessary to serve new software partners.

“We are very pleased to announce SCS’s acquisition of iDeposit’s payment gateway, which will strengthen our position in the growing mobile, ecommerce, and ISV markets,” commented Charles Hogan, SCS’s President. “iDeposit’s mobile, ecommerce, and API solutions will be a great asset for SCS across all of our markets.”
