Fast-Growing Wallaby Financial Moves to Unique New Office Space in Old Pasadena

PASADENA, Calif., Oct. 8, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Wallaby Financial, the leader in mobile and web-based credit card optimization solutions, today announced that the company has moved to new office space in Old Pasadena Plaza at 87 N. Raymond Avenue. Wallaby is the first new tenant in a planned technology hub.  The company gains additional room to grow while also taking advantage of the state-of-the-art technology infrastructure and support housed at the historic Old Pasadena location.

The Old Pasadena building complex that now houses Wallaby was purchased late last year by Rising Realty Partners (RRP) and technology entrepreneur David Sacks, a legendary Silicon Valley entrepreneur who was the founding CEO of Yammer and first COO of PayPal. Sacks and RRP led a technological upgrade of the historic complex together with 5x5 Telecom, installing a site-wide fiber backbone, fault-tolerant network redundancy, multiple ISPs for carrier diversity and on-premises rack space.

The new office space is a great fit for Wallaby, the leading provider of financial services apps for wearable devices, smartphones and web. The company has been a major force in the growing Pasadena tech scene since its inception, and as it enters a phase of rapid growth, Wallaby will have the technology infrastructure and room it requires to expand its operations worldwide.

"Wallaby is on the leading edge of financial services tech, and our new home in Old Pasadena gives us the room we need to grow in a tech-centric space," said Matthew Goldman, Founder and CEO of Wallaby Financial. "Thanks to the vision of investors like David Sacks and RRP, Old Pasadena is fast becoming a major startup hub, and we're excited to be a part of it."

"Pasadena has always been on the cutting edge of technology and creativity as the home of the Cal Tech, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and the Art Center College of Design," said Nelson Rising, RRP Chairman and CEO. "With new tenants like Wallaby our Old Pasadena complex is making a significant contribution to the local tech boom."
