FOMO Group, a financial holding company that owns FOMO Pay, has acquired CapBridge, a capital markets service and asset custody firm, and private securities exchange company 1X Exchange.
CapBridge is a digital online investment syndication and distribution platform with Capital Markets Services (CMS) license that offers accessibility to capital markets products.
Meanwhile, 1exchange is an Recognised Market Operator (RMO) -licensed private securities exchange that offers cost-effective listing venue designed for SMEs, corporates and institutions.
This acquisition expands the FOMO Group’s capability to offer products in the capital markets space as well as to bring new clients into its ecosystem.
