CardConnect Corp. completed its public market debut through a merger with FinTech Acquisition Corp., a blank-check company that went public in 2015 targeting the financial technology and payments sector. The SPAC was sponsored by FinTech Masala, LLC, an entity affiliated with Cohen & Company Financial, with Betsy Cohen serving as chairman. The S-1 registration statement filed with the SEC on August 25, 2016 formalized the de-SPAC transaction, with CardConnect subsequently trading on Nasdaq under the ticker CCN. CardConnect, a payment technology company providing integrated credit card processing solutions to businesses, was later acquired by First Data Corporation in 2017.
