G2 Risk Solutions (G2RS) and EverC have entered into an agreement to merge, aiming to enhance global e-commerce protection against merchant and online marketplace threats.

Both companies have previously operated independently with a shared goal of utilising advanced technology to safeguard stakeholders in the digital payments industry.

The merger intends to integrate EverC’s artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities with G2RS’s expertise, establishing a new benchmark in payments risk management.

G2 Risk Solutions specialises in risk and compliance business intelligence for financial institutions and online platforms. Its solutions address merchant risk, digital commerce risk, bankruptcy risk, credit risk, and regulatory reporting.

EverC focuses on leveraging AI technology to combat fraud and support e-commerce growth by providing comprehensive risk management solutions.

EverC CEO Ariel Tiger said: “We share a purpose to stop the increasingly sophisticated global threats from bad actors who seek to exploit the payments ecosystem. With our two teams working together, our impact can be exponential.

“This elevates our game in every facet of the business, pushing the envelope technologically and setting new standards for merchant portfolio performance.”

Following the merger, the combined entity will cater to nearly all major payment providers worldwide. This includes prominent banks, merchant acquirers, international marketplaces, and rapidly expanding online platforms.

G2RS’ CEO Brian Longe will assume the same role in the combined company.

Longe said: “Leveraging each other’s strengths as a unified force on a singular track, we will accelerate to deliver faster, smarter business outcomes and solutions for our clients and the global digital economy.

“We’re poised to achieve more together than we ever could apart, aligned in our commitment to root out fraud and illegal activities and help our customers grow with confidence and integrity.”

The merger agreement follows recent significant activities by both companies. Earlier this year, G2RS acquired ZignSec, owner of WebShield in a move to bolster its European presence and merchant risk capabilities.

Meanwhile, EverC introduced two AI-driven products offering real-time risk intelligence for the payments sector.

Financial details of the deal remain undisclosed. The merger is anticipated to be completed in Q3 2025, pending standard closing conditions.

Advisers supporting the transaction include DLA Piper for G2RS as legal adviser. Deutsche Bank served as financial adviser for EverC, while Meitar is the legal adviser.
