Sale of Premier Technologies

Canterbury is delighted to have advised the shareholders of Premier Technologies on the divestment of their payments platform to Linkly.

Servicing in excess of 20,000 merchants globally, Premier offers a comprehensive, secure payments platform that enables merchants to seamlessly accept payments online or over the phone.

Linkly, which is backed by Potentia Capital, provides payment integration technology that facilitates approximately two billion in-store payments annually. The acquisition of Premier will enable Linkly to combine its existing in-store offering with a market leading online payments platform and provide its customers with a true end-to-end, omni-channel payments solution.

This transaction was a win-win for both buyer and seller. It provided the shareholders and management of Premier with reward for the high quality business developed across 3 decades, and for Linkly the acquisition immediately enhances its proposition to customers which now includes both an in-store and online capability.
