Accelerating Growth of a Payments Company

From Employee to CEO

In 1994, Rick Watkin started as one of the earliest employees of KUBRA, a company with origins in bill printing and delivery. By 2000, Rick assumed the role of CEO and led the transformation of KUBRA’s service offering into electronic billing and payment processing. In 2006, Rick saw that the market presented tremendous growth opportunities for KUBRA and was seeking an equity partner to help him grow.

Growth-centric Acquisitions

Rick and his fellow executive shareholders partnered with OG真人官网 to purchase shares from the founder of KUBRA. OG真人官网 worked closely with Rick and his team to support a couple of acquisitions, debt capital raises and a strengthening of the senior leadership team.
