西联汇款终止5亿美元收购Intermex 加州金融监管附加条件谈不拢
西联汇款11月11日宣布，终止以5亿美元收购国际汇款公司Intermex的交易，原因是与加州监管机构未能达成一致。加州金融保护与创新局当天表示，已有条件批准这笔交易，前提是两家公司遵守监管机构提出的消费者保护要求。西联汇款随即发表声明，称监管机构的条件将要求公司对其商业模式、代理关系和长期业务战略作出实质性改变，因此决定放弃交易。加州金融保护与创新局表示，附加条件旨在防止欺诈、诈骗与洗钱，并确保金融服务的公平竞争与可及性。西联汇款去年宣布这笔收购计划，希望借此加强美国零售业务并加快数字客户获取。双方合并协议中约定的最后期限为2026年11月10日，到期后任何一方均有权终止协议。Intermex主要面向拉美裔移民提供汇款服务，交易告吹意味着西联汇款在美国零售汇款市场的扩张计划暂告一段落。

Western Union Terminates $500 Million Acquisition of Intermex
Western Union has terminated its planned $500 million acquisition of International Money Express (Intermex), PYMNTS reported Nov. 11. California's Department of Financial Protection and Innovation granted conditional approval for the deal on Nov. 11, but the merger agreement's deadline passed on Nov. 10, and the two companies did not extend it. Western Union, headquartered in California's remittance market hub, had sought to expand its retail money-transfer network in Latin America and the Caribbean through Intermex. The companies said the termination was mutual and no breakup fee was payable. The collapse of the deal leaves Intermex to continue operating independently, while Western Union said it would keep pursuing growth in digital remittances.
