The IQST goal is to take GlobeTopper's innovative fintech products and services and scale them globally through IQSTEL's powerful commercial platform — which already reaches over 600 of the largest telecom operators around the world. In parallel, GlobeTopper's existing client base — including prominent multinational brands — opens the door for IQST to expand its reach into new sectors, allowing deeper penetration into the enterprise and global brand markets.
Together, IQST and GlobeTopper plan lead the next wave of convergence between fintech and telecommunications in high-value markets across Africa, Europe, and the Americas. As part of the transaction, Craig Span will continue in his role as CEO of GlobeTopper, ensuring leadership continuity and seamless integration into the IQST Fintech Division.
GlobeTopper will collaborate with GlobalMoneyOne.com, co-developing a 3-year business plan to position itself as a top-tier player in the global fintech ecosystem. The deal puts IQST firmly on track to reach a $400 million revenue run rate and achieve a targeted 80% telecom / 20% tech revenue mix by the end of this year. This acquisition strengthens the IQST position as a high-margin, tech-focused growth platform, advancing its $1 billion revenue goal by 2027. Additionally, IQST plans to invest up to $1.2 million over the next 2 yearsto accelerate GlobeTopper's growth and product roadmap.
