Selected Investments Joins RoxPay as Shareholder: A New Chapter for Italian Fintech
RoxPay is pleased to announce that Selected Investments SpA has entered its share capital. The Tuscan holding company, specialised in investing in innovative, high-technology businesses with strong growth potential, has chosen RoxPay as a partner to accelerate the Italian payment gateway's expansion across the European market. The deal marks a significant milestone for the Italian fintech ecosystem: two Italian companies that share the same core belief, centred on technology-driven innovation, sustainable growth, and long-term value creation, joining forces to build a stronger, more competitive payment infrastructure together.
Who Is Selected Investments
Selected Investments SpA is an operational holding company headquartered in Florence. The firm invests primarily in innovative, high-technology businesses with significant growth potential, participating in their share capital with a long-term investment horizon.
Selected Investments' approach goes beyond capital deployment: the firm provides portfolio companies with strategic advisory and high-value services in corporate finance, M&A, IPO preparation, and other extraordinary transactions. This makes it fundamentally different from a traditional financial holding. It acts as an active partner in the growth of the companies it backs.
Selected Investments focuses primarily on seed and early-stage investments, standing alongside founders and management teams at the most critical phases of company development, moments when capital is not just a financial resource but also a credibility signal and a catalyst for commercial and institutional opportunities.
Why Selected Investments Chose RoxPay
The decision to invest in RoxPay reflects Selected Investments' strategy of targeting high-growth sectors and companies with a differentiated market position.
RoxPay is an Italian payment gateway headquartered in Poggibonsi, Siena, that has built a proprietary technology infrastructure capable of serving merchants across Europe. Several factors drove the investment thesis:
Documented growth: RoxPay has shown steady growth in its merchant base across Europe, expanding into sectors such as e-commerce, retail, hospitality, and professional services, while progressively broadening its network of technology and banking partners.
Technology differentiation: RoxPay's API-first architecture, PCI DSS Level 1 certification, ISO 27001 and ISO 9001 certifications, and support for over 120 payment systems across 100 partner acquiring banks position it as one of the most robust independent payment processors in Europe.
Expanding market: The European digital payments market is in structural growth, driven by e-commerce penetration, the spread of contactless payments, and ongoing regulatory evolution (PSD2, PSD3). RoxPay is well placed to benefit from these trends.
Team and vision: Team quality and strategic clarity are key selection criteria for Selected Investments. RoxPay has demonstrated the ability to build complex products and operate in demanding regulatory environments while maintaining precise execution.
What This Investment Means for RoxPay
Selected Investments' entry into RoxPay's capital is more than a financial transaction. It is a strategic partnership that delivers value across multiple dimensions.
Strengthened capital base: The additional capital allows RoxPay to accelerate investment in technology infrastructure, commercial expansion, and the development of new products and features for European merchants.
Access to an institutional network: Selected Investments brings a network of relationships in finance, corporate finance, and institutional circles that can open new commercial opportunities and strategic partnerships for RoxPay.
Support on extraordinary transactions: With Selected Investments' experience in M&A and complex transactions, RoxPay gains a partner to consult on long-term structural decisions, from external growth scenarios to potential capital markets operations.
A Shared Vision: Italian Technology at the Service of European Payments
RoxPay and Selected Investments share a fundamental vision: Italy can and should produce technology champions in fintech, capable of competing at a European and international level.
The digital payments sector has historically been dominated by Anglo-Saxon and Nordic players, from Stripe and Adyen to the major international networks. Yet Italy has all the conditions to produce centres of excellence: a strong entrepreneurial culture, a high-quality technology base, and a SME ecosystem that needs modern, flexible, and competitive payment solutions.
RoxPay was built with the ambition of becoming the reference payment gateway for Italian and European businesses looking for an alternative to the major international aggregators, with the technical depth of a specialist operator, the flexibility of a lean organisation, and the proximity of a partner that speaks your language. Selected Investments, by choosing to invest in RoxPay, is backing this vision.
