Proposed Change

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest was declined. The request was not specific enough. You may consider leaving your comments on the Talk page or escalating significant issues to the conflict of interest noticeboard.

What I think should be changed: I think the following new event should be added to the history section beneath "Partnership With Great Hill Partners":

Acquisition of DadeSystems On April 18, 2022, Versapay announced it has completed its acquisition of U.S.-based fintech company DadeSystems. DadeSystems has been a long-term technology partner of Versapay, offering their flagship product, DadePay, to automate cash application.

Why it should be changed: Versapay's Wikipedia page hasn't been updated since 2020. Since then, important events have happened that are a key part of the history timeline and will provide more information to users.

Proposed Change

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

Specific text to be added or removed: Acquisiton of DadeSystems

On April 18, 2022, Versapay announced it has completed its acquisition of U.S.-based fintech company DadeSystems. DadeSystems has been a long-term technology partner of Versapay, offering their flagship product, DadePay, to automate cash application.

Reason for the change: Versapay's History section hasn't been updated since 2020. Since 2020, important historical events have happened that aren't currently reflected on Versapay's Wikipedia page. Versapay acquired fintech company, DadeSystems in 2022. This was a significant historical event and the update will provide more information to users.

Done since this seems to have been a major transaction for the company. However, the entire history section is a mess and, if it wasn't already formatted that way, I would not have added it in as a separate heading. This should close all outstanding edit requests on this page, thank you for your patience. Rusalkii (talk) 03:21, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed Change

Part of an edit requested by an editor with a conflict of interest has been implemented.

What I think should be changed:Add the following news event:

Carey O’Connor Kolaja Announced as CEO On March 7, 2023, Versapay announced the appointment of Carey O’Connor Kolaja as its Chief Executive Officer. Carey O’Connor Kolaja is responsible for the company’s strategic direction and day-to-day operations. Carey O’Connor Kolaja brings over 25 years of executive leadership experience in the financial services and payments industry with a broad and successful background in profitably scaling companies and developing robust company culture.

Why it should be changed: Versapay's news section hasn't been updated since 2020. Since then, key historical Versapay events have happened. On March,7th, 2023, Carey O'Conner Kolaja became Versapay's new CEO. The current Wikipedia page doesn't have any information on Carey O'Conner Kolaja as Versapay's present-day CEO. This new information will be helpful for readers.

Partly done: Her responsibilities are entirely normal for a CEO and unnecessary here. The last sentence is pure marketing fluff. I've added a sentence about her being appointed CEO to the leadership section. Rusalkii (talk) 23:24, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request for Versapay's page

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

What I think should be changed (include citations): I recommend we change the Headquarters section from Toronto, Ontario, Canada to Miami, Florida, United States.

Why it should be changed: This should be changed because Versapay is no longer headquartered in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It's now headquartered in Miami, Florida, United States.

Done , mostly. Couldn't find "payment processors" in the source and "enterprises" seems redundant. Rusalkii (talk) 06:11, 18 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
