History

Carta was founded in 2006 in Canada by Frank Svatousek, Robert Elensky, and Rui Mendes.[10][11] Company's headquarters were setup in Oakville, Ontario, Canada and relocated in to Switzerland with service company offices opened in Hong Kong and London, UK.[12]

In 2009, Brian Semkiw was appointed as CEO.[13] Brian Semkiw is the co-founder of Rand Worldwide which had 1500 employees and had secured revenues of approximately $500 million by the time it was privatized in 2007.[14] Profit Magazine named Semkiw "Entrepreneur of the Year" in 1996.[15]

On September 15, 2014, Carta Worldwide closed the first tranche of a $12 million Series D venture round. Led by Toronto-based merchant bank Difference Capital and DC Thomson (UK), the $7-million investment adds to the more than $50 million the company has invested in its digital transaction processing platform.[16][17]

In 2015 Carta partnered with Visa Inc. and Vodafone to enable contactless bank card payments.[18] The Vodafone wallet uses a hybrid of a hardware SIM card and cloud-based tokenization.[19] Carta Worldwide enabled groundbreaking digital payments launch that allowed PayPal accounts to transact across Visa network in Europe.[2] Also in 2015, Carta Worldwide has named Elizabeth Duke as new Vice President of Business Development.[20]

In July 2018, Carta Worldwide announced that Brian Semkiw resigned as CEO issuing in a change in global leadership, with Paul Hill appointed as the new CEO. After Paul Hill leaves to begin the next phase of his life, Peter Kaju assumes role as Chief Executive Officer June 1, 2020.[21]

In January 2021, Carta was acquired by Mogo Financial for 10 million Mogo shares valuing the transaction in excess of $100 million. CAD.[22]
