The Huddersfield, England-based provider of fintech and support services said the acquisition will be earnings accretive for full year 2026.

The cash consideration paid of £11.0 million consists of an initial £7.5 million payment and deferred amounts of £2.0 million, payable in April and £1.5 million, payable in July.

The deal is expected to generate 2026 revenue of £2.6 million and earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation of £0.9 million.

Fintel funded the transaction from existing financial resources.
