The project



As part of its strategic support mission, Auraïa advised Redbridge in the acquisition of Vizant, completed at the end of 2018.
The transaction has created a leading consulting firm in the growing global payments industry.

Today



The acquisition strengthens Redbridge's offer to corporate finance departments and allows the firm to accelerate its rapid growth in the United States market.
By acquiring Vizant, Redbridge is strengthening its capabilities in the United States by integrating a team of card payment experts and expense optimization technology that will be added to Redbridge Analytics' in-house fintech software solutions portfolio.
Following the acquisition of De Rhins in Paris, also advised by Auraïa, this new external growth transaction reflects Redbridge's dynamism and ambition in its sector.
Auraïa has strengthened its role as a leading strategic and financial advisor to Redbridge's management. Today, Auraïa continues to explore new development opportunities for Redbridge.
 
Auraïa's intervention alongside our US team was decisive for the acquisition of Vizant, in a particular context and very short deadlines.

David Laugier, Redbridge COO
