Sept 20 (Reuters) - Xplor Technologies Llc, a payments company backed by private equity firm Advent International, confidentially filed paperwork for an initial public offering in the United States on Monday.

The Atlanta-based company was formed after Advent merged https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/tsg-and-clearent-merge-to-form-xplor-a-global-platform-integrating-software-payments-and-commerce-enabling-solutions-301235641.html two of its portfolio payments companies Transaction Services Group (TSG) and Clearent, which together processed over $27 billion in payments in 2020, to form Xplor earlier this year.

Xplor could fetch a valuation of $4 billion to $6 billion, Bloomberg News reported https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-08-30/advent-is-said-to-explore-taking-payments-firm-xplor-public?sref=WJKVI5nK in August, citing people familiar with the matter.

The company, which runs a cloud-based payments processing platform, also makes enterprise software solutions that are used across five industrial verticals including education, health and fitness, boutique wellness, field services and personal services.
