Worldline and Ingenico
In recent news, Worldline acquired Ingenico, making it the fourth-biggest payments company in the world.
Worldline has agreed to buy its French peer Ingenico for a sum of €7.8bn. This would offer a premium of around 16% to Ingenico’s current market capitalisation of around €6.7bn.
The companies expect to close the transaction by the third quarter of 2020.
