ANZ Worldline Payment Solutions is an established merchant acquiring player servicing SMB and Enterprise clients in Australia. The closing of the contemplated transaction is expected in H2 2026, subject to customary approvals. Worldline will continue to provide technology and software services to ANZ in order to ensure operational continuity for a transitional period. This contemplated transaction successfully concludes the execution of the portfolio pruning program, which was designed to refocus the Group's operations on core European payment activities, as highlighted during the November 2025 Capital Markets Day. The combined net cash proceeds1 from all the announced divestments (MeTS, Worldline North America, Cetrel, PaymentIQ, Worldline India, Worldline New Zealand and ANZ Worldline Payment Solutions Australia) are estimated at €590-640M and should be received in 2026, strengthening the Group’s financial profile, enhancing strategic flexibility and supporting the redeployment of capital towards core activities. Worldline’s management remains focused on executing the North Star 2030 transformation plan with the aim of restoring the Group’s revenue growth and strong free cash flow generation.
