Mergers and Acquisitions news

Mergers and acquisitions covers the deals that change who owns fintech infrastructure: acquisitions, mergers, take-privates, majority stakes and the divestitures that follow them. Fintechbits tracks the terms where they are disclosed, the regulatory approvals a deal still needs, and what happens after close, which is usually where the story is: the platform migrations, the products quietly discontinued and the customers who leave rather than be migrated. Coverage includes strategic buyers such as Fiserv, FIS, Visa and Mastercard, the private equity firms consolidating payment processors, and the distressed sales that follow a round nobody could raise. Funding rounds are not deals in this sense and belong under funding. A deal is covered here and on the hub for the market it consolidates.
