Nayax Buys IPS Group to Push Into Smart Parking Market
Nayax has acquired IPS Group, adding a smart parking platform that covers over 250,000 spaces to its payments portfolio.

The deal marks a meaningful pivot beyond Nayax's traditional unattended retail payments roots and into a sector where digital infrastructure is rapidly replacing old-school coin-fed meters.

If you've ever fumbled for quarters at a meter, you can probably appreciate why this market is worth chasing.
