[Alpha Biz= Paul Lee] Sungho Electronics and its largest shareholder Seoryong Electronics, together with global crypto payments firm MoonPay, have agreed to acquire South Korean fintech company Finger in a deal valued at approximately KRW 110 billion.
According to regulatory filings on April 22, the consortium—including Seoryong Electronics, Sungho Electronics, MoonPay, and Pantos Holdings—will invest in Finger to secure management control.
Founded in 2000, Finger is one of Korea’s first-generation fintech companies, providing smart financial platforms to banks and financial institutions. Its flagship service, “Full Banking,” integrates account aggregation and simplified payments. Its clients include the National Pension Service and the Korea Minting and Security Printing Corporation.
MoonPay, established in 2019, operates crypto payment and stablecoin infrastructure across more than 180 countries, serving over 30 million users and 500 corporate clients. The company holds key global licenses, including New York’s BitLicense and Europe’s MiCA authorization.
MoonPay said the acquisition will enable it to combine its stablecoin issuance, swap, and cross-border payment infrastructure with Finger’s domestic financial network, paving the way for Korean won-based stablecoin use cases.
Pantos Holdings, wholly owned by Koo Bon-ho, also joined the deal as a strategic investor. The company plans to integrate Finger’s cloud ERP solution with MoonPay’s infrastructure to develop stablecoin-based trade settlement services.
