Nexi stock: Ratepay sale highlights a week of portfolio focus

Nexi agreed on November 9 to sell its Ratepay business to Affirm, putting portfolio management at the center of the Italian payments group's trading week. MarketScreener reported that the transaction is subject to customary regulatory approvals expected in the first half of 2027.

Ratepay sale keeps focus on core payments

Affirm is set to become the new owner of Ratepay, a provider serving merchants in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The transaction's financial terms were not disclosed in the report.

Nexi and Affirm also signed a memorandum of understanding to expand their existing DACH partnership and jointly explore new opportunities. Nexi is expected to provide transition support, including specialist assistance and technology expertise, after completion.

Nexi said the sale is aligned with its focus on core businesses and portfolio optimization. The transaction is expected to have a slightly positive effect on the group's net financial position and to support excess-cash generation, according to the MarketScreener report.
