Analysts Predict Consolidation Across Payment Sector Following ... (The Fintech Times)

Analysts are predicting further consolidation across the payment space following US financial conglomerate FIS's decision to spin off its merchant business.

“On the positive side, following the spinoff, FIS will return to being primarily a bank tech provider. It has also earmarked cost savings of $1.2billion as it looks to reposition the business. It has cut thousands of jobs since it announced the strategic review of the business last year. Katri said: “There is the issue of selling anything at this point in the market. The fundamentals of a merchant business are that they scaled platform with global distribution. I am assuming they looked at a sale but not sure if anybody would be interested, as it is underperforming.” Other payments fintechs are also experiencing a decline due to weakening consumer demand. It is kind of interesting because you have one company where this combination has been working well, maybe two of them [Global Payments], but with FIS they decided to part ways because maybe they just believed maybe if you have different leadership, different focus areas [it will work better].” FIS top executives claim that by spinning off the business, they will have more financial flexibility to strengthen Worldpay with investments and acquisitions in high-growth sectors. I think if you look at our peers they’ve been doing M&A over the last couple of years.” And that’s really been a big weakness for us in the payments business. However, critics, including activist investors DE Shaw and Jana Partners, argue that FIS should have never acquired Worldpay.
