Brazil’s Machado, Meyer, Sendacz e Opice Advogados and Canada’s Borden Ladner Gervais LLP have helped specialised payment products provider FleetCor Technologies enter the Brazilian market with the acquisition of CTF Technology, a Canadian holding company which controls fuel payment processor CTF Technologies do Brasil.

Brazil’s Mundie e Advogados and Canada’s McMillan LLP advised CTF Technology in the US$180 million deal, which was signed and submitted to the Canadian authorities on 28 April and will close within the following 60 days.

CTF Brasil provides fuel payment processing services for over-the-road fleets, ships, mining equipment and railroads in Brazil. The company’s payment platform links fleet operators with two of the Brazil’s largest banks, Bradesco and Itaú, and two of Brazil’s largest oil companies, Petrobrás and Ipiranga.
