UK’s largest payment processing company agrees to a takeover deal and primary listing on the New York Stock Exchange
Worldpay, the UK’s largest payment processing company, has agreed to a £9.3bn takeover by US rival Vantiv after reassuring senior members of parliament the deal did not amount to a cheap sell-off of a British company after the Brexit vote.
