Global Payments has completed the acquisition of Ezi Holdings (Ezidebit), a payments technology company in Australia and New Zealand.

In September 2014, Global Payments has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Ezidebit.

Similar to the company’s OpenEdge division, Ezidebit markets its products through a network of integrated software vendors and direct channels to numerous vertical markets.

According to the terms of the agreement, Global Payments paid a purchase price of A$305m, financed by a combination of cash on hand and borrowings on the company’s revolving credit facility.

Jeffrey Sloan, CEO of Global Payments, said: "The acquisition of Ezidebit aligns well with our worldwide strategy to enter new, attractive payments markets and supports our growth initiatives with a technology-based, direct distribution player.
