Magellan Partners announces that it has signed the acquisition contract of the MeTS business line and part of Worldline’s Digital Banking activities

The acquisition of MeTS would add expertise in the implementation of secure and sovereign B2B2C solutions to the Magellan Partners Group’s historical capabilities in strategic, organizational and IS consulting, and integration of market-leading technology platforms.

MeTS is a French and European player specializing in the design, development, deployment and 24/7 operational management of high-impact digital applications, at the heart of the critical activities of companies and public and health institutions and in highly secure ecosystems. These solutions are custom-made and/or also based on digital solutions owned by MeTS. They are operated on demand according to the wishes of companies, whether on Public or Private Cloud environments, as well as on secure and labelled dedicated infrastructures (Secure Num Cloud for example). MeTS’ B2B2C solutions are used by millions of citizens and consumers in France and Europe.

With this transaction, Magellan Partners would become the preferred partner of public and healthcare companies and organizations to accelerate their business, functional and technological transformation. The group would be the reference for all those who wish to strengthen their strategic autonomy, in an environment where digital sovereignty, AI regulation and cybersecurity are now essential – requiring the implementation of powerful, scalable, flexible and hybrid architectures.

With complete end-to-end control; from organizational consulting to expertise in the technological offers on the market as well as sovereign and trusted frameworks, Magellan Partners will be able to design and operate tailor-made hybrid strategies. The group will thus support, with a multidisciplinary team, public, healthcare and private players in France and Europe, wishing to ensure their full strategic autonomy.

MeTS is one of the 8 French operators certified SecNumCloud and thus stands out for its high level of security.

This merger embodies a common desire: to increase European strategic sovereignty, by allowing the Group’s customers to benefit from certified solutions (SecNumCloud, HDS, Gematik) operated in highly secure environments. The objective is to ensure the control, confidentiality and security of data and critical infrastructures to meet the challenges of performance and digital trust, in a context of major technological and regulatory changes.

The transaction is supported by Magellan Partners Group’s historical banking partners, Crédit Agricole and BNP Paribas, as well as ICG’s entry into the capital of Magellan Partners as a minority shareholdermid-October. The 2 banking partners of Magellan Partners and ICG will finance the transaction and support the Group’s European expansion as well as the execution of its 2030 strategic plan. Following the transaction, Magellan Partners’ co-founders and management teams will retain more than 70% of the capital.

The signing of this agreement is firmly binding on the parties, even if the transaction remains subject to conditions precedents disclosed in July: in particular the completion of the carve-out of the MeTS division and part of Worldline’s Digital Banking Financial Services activities, and the obtaining of the relevant regulatory approvals. The closing, scheduled for the first half of 2026, will take place once these steps have been completed.
