Visa to buy Visa Europe in deal worth up to 21.2 billion euros

US credit card issuer Visa Inc. said Monday it was to buy back its former subsidiary Visa Europe in a 21.2-billion-euro ($23.5-billion) deal.

The deal, approved by both boards, will be carried out in two stages -- an initial payment of 16.5 billion euros followed by a possible additional payment of 4.7 billion euros four years after the agreement is finalised, Visa said.

UK-incorporated Visa Europe, operated by member banks and other payment service providers from 38 countries, has been operating independently of Visa Inc since 2004.
