The company will use the proceeds to accelerate sales and marketing of its digital gift card platform in the US and to further its operations in international markets. Buyatab has advanced its digital gifting platform since its first significant venture funding in March 2011, creating an industry-leading gifting experience for both the purchaser and the recipient. The company's digital gifting and incentive capabilities bring digital life to traditional B2C and B2B gift card programs and create opportunities for integrated marketing solutions. The gifting landscape is shifting to a digital focus, creating significant opportunities where stored value meets mobile commerce, according to [Johann Tergesen](https://giftcard.news/person/johann-tergesen/), Buyatab's CEO. The additional expansion capital will support the company's push into the US marketplace and continued innovation, with a focus on continuous innovation that has put Buyatab at the forefront of the digital gifting revolution. Buyatab's Chief Operating Officer and founder, [Matias Marquez](https://giftcard.news/person/matias-marquez/), stated that the company continues to experience phenomenal growth with its merchant partners and world-class team. The additional funding will add fuel to the fire, supporting the company's further expansion. Buyatab provides a seamless solution for gift cards to be purchased from a merchant's online properties and delivered to recipients via email or text message, leveraging the rapid growth in mobile device and social media use. The company's technology has full compatibility with mobile wallets such as [Apple Wallet](https://giftcard.news/company/apple/) and [Google Pay](https://giftcard.news/company/google/). With clients in the US, Canada, and Europe, Buyatab provides eGift Card services to merchants in a wide variety of sectors, including retail, hospitality, restaurant, shopping, hotel, and others. Buyatab representatives attended the Incentive Marketing Association Summit, which took place from July 26 to 28, 2015, in Nashville, Tennessee. The funding round is expected to support Buyatab's continued growth and innovation in the digital gifting space. As the company expands its operations in the US and international markets, it will likely face increasing competition and evolving consumer demands. Buyatab's ability to adapt to the shifting gifting landscape and provide innovative solutions to its merchant partners will be crucial to its success in the coming years. With its strong foundation in digital gifting and incentive capabilities, the company is well-positioned to capitalize on the growing demand for digital gift cards and mobile commerce solutions. ## Sources and documents ExpandCollapse * [Buyatab Raises Expansion Capital](https://web.buyatab.com/our-news/buyatab-raises-expansion-capital/?utm%5Fsource=giftcard.news) — web.buyatab.com ## In this article ### Companies * [Apple](https://giftcard.news/company/apple/) * [Buyatab](https://giftcard.news/company/buyatab/) * [Google](https://giftcard.news/company/google/) ### People * [Johann Tergesen](https://giftcard.news/person/johann-tergesen/) * [Matias Marquez](https://giftcard.news/person/matias-marquez/) Share [ ](https://x.com/intent/post?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgiftcard.news%2Findustry-deals%2Fbuyatab-completes-funding-round-to-expand-digital-gift-card-platform-afb30abce2c3%2F%3Futm%5Fsource%3Dx%26utm%5Fmedium%3Dsocial&text=Buyatab%20Completes%20Funding%20Round%20to%20Expand%20Digital%20Gift%20Card%20Platform "X") [ ](https://www.linkedin.com/sharing/share-offsite/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgiftcard.news%2Findustry-deals%2Fbuyatab-completes-funding-round-to-expand-digital-gift-card-platform-afb30abce2c3%2F%3Futm%5Fsource%3Dlinkedin%26utm%5Fmedium%3Dsocial "LinkedIn") [ ](https://wa.me/?text=Buyatab%20Completes%20Funding%20Round%20to%20Expand%20Digital%20Gift%20Card%20Platform%20https%3A%2F%2Fgiftcard.news%2Findustry-deals%2Fbuyatab-completes-funding-round-to-expand-digital-gift-card-platform-afb30abce2c3%2F%3Futm%5Fsource%3Dwhatsapp%26utm%5Fmedium%3Dsocial "WhatsApp") ![Portrait of Suzie Elis](https://giftcard.news/images/variants/v1/suzie-elis-editorial-portrait-w320.webp) About the author ## [Suzie Elis](https://giftcard.news/author/suzie-elis/) Journalist — Gift Cards & Digital Gifting Suzie Elis covers gift card products, digital gifting and distribution for Gift Card News.
