The acquisition provides Barclaycard’s global payments business clients with access to a wider suite of products and services, including Logic Group’s transaction processing capabilities from multiple sales channels (store, online and mobile) – through a single platform.
Barclaycard’s customers will also be benefitted from Logic Group’s loyalty programmes and data insights solutions, which enable merchants to provide highly targeted services to their customers.
