KORT Payments agrees to buy Toronto real-time payments company AptPay

The deal moves KORT beyond card acceptance into account-to-account payments and payouts. AptPay will keep its brand and its chief executive, Shams Syed, as a KORT division once the purchase closes, which the companies expect in the fourth quarter of 2026.
