Expands Corporate Payments Business into Adjacent Cross-Border
Payments Market
NORCROSS, Ga.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 9, 2017--
FLEETCOR Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:FLT), a leading global provider of
commercial payment solutions, has closed its acquisition of Cambridge
Global Payments (“Cambridge”), a leading B2B international payments
provider, for approximately $690 million. The purchase agreement was
previously announced on May 1, 2017.
Cambridge, founded in 1992, processed $25 billion in B2B cross-border
payments in 2016, helping more than 13,000 business clients make
international payments to suppliers and employees. Cambridge’s
proprietary technology serves the needs of SMB and mid-cap businesses,
enabling its clients the flexibility of making wire, EFT, draft and
check payments in over 140 currencies. Cambridge’s headquarters will
remain in Toronto, Canada.
The acquisition of Cambridge provides FLEETCOR with entry into the $145
billion B2B cross-border payments market. The addition of Cambridge’s
global corporate payments capabilities will enable FLEETCOR to pay both
domestic and international AP payments for the same client, a
significant differentiator in the commercial marketplace.
