SIX to Partner with Worldline in Payments Services

SIX is entering a strategic partnership with Worldline in the cards business (merchant acceptance & acquiring, and international card processing). SIX will bring the existing cards business into the partnership and will receive a 27% stake in Worldline. SIX Payment Services and Worldline complement each other very well in terms of geography and product offering. The combined company will be the leading and largest European provider in the payments industry. The transaction is expected to close during the last quarter of 2018.
