UK's CMA accepts Brink's remedy for NCR Atleos deal in principle

The UK Competition and Markets Authority accepted in principle Brink's proposal to divest NoteMachine/TestLink UK, avoiding a Phase 2 review of its planned acquisition of NCR Atleos. Brink's is in talks with several prospective buyers and still expects to close early in the first quarter of 2027, with $200 million in annual run-rate cost synergies.

Why it matters: Clearing the UK hurdle removes a key regulatory risk for a deal that reshapes the cash and ATM services market.
