Corpay to Acquire Alpha Group in $2.2 Billion B2B FX Deal; to Divest Vehicle Payments Units Following Acquisition
Corpay has struck a deal to acquire London-based Alpha Group International for $2.2 billion, aiming to bolster its B2B cross-border FX and international payment capabilities. The acquisition—awaiting Q4 2025 closing—brings Alpha’s strengths in multi-currency accounts and institutional services into Corpay’s payments ecosystem, with Alpha holding approximately $3 billion in client deposits across 7,000 accounts.
As part of its acquisition strategy, Corpay plans to sell off some non-core vehicle payments units to streamline its focus on enterprise and FX-driven B2B payment services. The divestitures are expected to fund the $2.2 billion Alpha integration and sharpen strategic alignment.
Prior to the current acquisition agreement, Alpha Group International had rejected an early cash offer from Corpay earlier in 2025. This latest accepted deal—valued at $2.2 billion—marks a significant shift in strategy for Alpha’s board and shareholders.
