"Financial technology firms are rapidly transforming financial services.

"John and Eric bring deep sector expertise and advisory experience as well as strong relationships with both strategic and financial sponsor clients."

"John's and Eric's leadership in M&A and capital markets transactions in payments, transaction processing, lending technology and other financial technology verticals is highly complementary to our existing franchise. We are excited to welcome them to the platform," added Peter Davis, US Head of Financial Technology.

Messrs. Katzenmeyer and Varney have significant transaction and sector experience within financial technology and bring strong relationships across a broad range of financial technology companies and investors. In addition to M&A in the Americas, Macquarie Capital has been active on a number of cross-border fintech M&A transactions and in the last two years raised over $9.5 billion in debt for fintech clients, as well as invested alongside clients in three fintech companies.

Messrs. Davis, Katzenmeyer and Varney will also work closely with Macquarie Capital sector teams more broadly, especially in technology, services and insurance, to both serve broad client needs across the fintech sector and to leverage the deep expertise that Macquarie has established in these areas across North America, Europe, Asia and Australia.
