Worldline is pleased to announce that Shift4 has entered into exclusivity to acquire Bambora Inc., Bambora Corp., Bambora Holdings Corp., and Worldline SMB US, Inc. (collectively, “Worldline NAM”), and Worldline SA has a contemplated project to formalize the agreement. The intended acquisition is part of a strategic move to strengthen Worldline NAM’s position in the North American market and enhance the value they deliver to their partners.

The Worldline NAM organization has always been a separate entity and has operated semi-autonomously from the Worldline SA parent organization. They have continuously held true to their core services throughout multiple acquisitions over time, and their goal is always to remain the same top payment partner to customers that they’ve always been. This acquisition will allow Worldline to pursue and accelerate their product roadmap, refine go-to-market efficiency, and deliver the enhanced partner and merchant experiences they have envisioned. The official Worldline SA announcement can be reviewed within the Q3 financial announcements: Q3 2025 Performance

This acquisition will take several phases for implementation and the trusted Worldline NAM organization will operate as usual until further notice.
