The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has initiated a merger inquiry into the proposed acquisition of NCR Atleos Corporation by The Brink's Company. The launch of this inquiry was announced by the CMA on August 26, 2026.
This initial phase involves an 'invitation to comment', allowing interested parties to submit their views on the potential impact of the transaction on competition within the UK. The CMA has stated that it has not yet commenced a formal investigation into the deal, with this invitation serving as the first step in its information-gathering process.
