Global Payments Inc. finalized a $24.3 billion acquisition of Worldpay, acquiring stakes held by Fidelity National Information Services (FIS) and private equity firm GTCR LLC. This deal marks a significant breakthrough in the mergers and acquisitions market, which had been sluggish due to tariff-related uncertainties under former U.S. President Donald Trump’s policies. Concurrently, Global Payments agreed to sell its issuer-solutions business to FIS for an enterprise value of $13.5 billion, further reshaping the payment processing landscape.
