Established in 1996 by Samantha and Michael Guthrie, Cypress has built a reputation as the "go to" partner for independent ATM deployers (IADs) in the US - offering a robust suite of products and services including equipment, parts, and processing, as well as technical and sales support.

"We are excited to join forces with Cypress and their distributors," says Paramount Senior Vice President M&A Business Development Maya Fuentes. "I have the utmost respect for the Guthrie's and the business they have built. During the past 28 years they have developed strong alliances and industry-leading tools and strategies to help their ATM deployers grow their businesses. This acquisition will benefit Cypress' IADs by providing the personalized service they are accustomed to, and access to additional products and services provided by Paramount."

"Maya has been a friend and professional colleague for decades. When we decided to sell, she was the first person I called," said Samantha. "This collaboration represents a significant step forward for our distributors – allowing them to gain additional pricing leverage, the ability and support to choose from multiple processors and enhance their profit margins by offering value-added services. I feel confident we are leaving our clients in good hands with Maya and her team at Paramount."
