Worldline has completed the sale of its Mobility & e-Transactional Services (MTS) business to Magellan Partners Group, marking another major step in the company’s ongoing effort to streamline operations and strengthen its focus on payments infrastructure.
The transaction, valued at an enterprise value of €400 million, generated approximately €280 million in net cash proceeds and forms part of Worldline’s broader North Star 2030 transformation strategy.
The company has been actively reshaping its portfolio to concentrate on core payments activities, including merchant acquiring, payment processing, digital commerce infrastructure, and services for financial institutions across Europe.
According to Worldline, the divestment enables the company to simplify its operating structure while increasing flexibility to invest in areas that align more closely with its long-term growth strategy.
The transaction generated net proceeds within the company’s previously communicated target range and is expected to support balance sheet optimization, operational restructuring, and future investment initiatives.
As part of the agreement, Worldline will continue providing certain technology and software services to the divested business during a transition period to ensure operational continuity.

The sale follows a series of strategic portfolio disposals completed or announced by the company over the past year, including transactions involving Worldline North America, Cetrel, PaymentIQ, Merchant Services India, and several operations across Australia and New Zealand.
Collectively, these divestments are expected to generate between €590 million and €640 million in net cash proceeds during 2026.
Following the restructuring, Worldline is positioning itself as a more focused payments infrastructure provider serving merchants, financial institutions, and public-sector organizations across Europe.
The company generated approximately €4 billion in revenue during 2025 and remains one of the continent’s largest payment technology groups.
The strategic repositioning comes as demand continues to grow for real-time payments, cross-border transaction capabilities, fraud prevention technologies, compliance solutions, and merchant digitalization services.
By concentrating resources on these areas, Worldline aims to strengthen its position within an increasingly competitive and consolidated European payments market.
The divestment represents another milestone in the company’s effort to create a more streamlined organization centered on payments technology and financial infrastructure.
