    Cachet Financial Solutions Prices IPO, Seeks to Raise More than $7 Million

    Cachet Financial Solutions Prices IPO, Seeks to Raise More than $7 Million

    Thumbnail image for CachetLogo.jpg

    Guess who quietly just went public?

    Cachet Financial Solutions announced the pricing of its initial public offering this week. The remote deposit capture (RDC) and mobile wallet solution provider will trade on the OTCBB under the ticker, CHTF CAFN (see update below). Four and a half million shares priced initially at $1.50 have been made available to the public.

    Update: Cachet Financial Solutions changes their ticker symbol to CAFN.

    Late in trading on Thursday, shares were up more than 1%.
    Cachet_financial_homepage
    The goal of the offering is to raise as much as $7.7 million (if an over-allotment option is fully exercised; closer to $6.7 million). Northland Capital Markets is the book-running manager for the IPO, with The Benchmark Company and MLV & Co. serving as co-managers.
    Cachet’s SEC filings provide some insights into the company’s finances – at least as of this spring. Cachet Financial Solutions’ revenues of more than $476,000 for the three months ending March 31, 2014 were up more than 145% from the same period a year ago. A comparison of Cachet’s net losses between the two periods reflects similar improvement, with the company trimming its losses by more than 53%. As of March 31, Cachet had more than $91,000 in cash and cash equivalents.
    Known for its RDC and mobile money management solutions, Cachet Financial Solutions is a cloud-based, software-as-a-service innovator. With recent deployments at Navy Federal Credit Union, FirstView LLC, and The Bancorp Bank in just the past month, Cachet Financial is taking advantage of the growing interest among banks and FIs to provide better experiences for their customs via technology.
    Founded in 2010 and headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Cachet Financial Solutions demoed its technology at FinovateFall 2012 in New York. See a video of the company on stage here.
