1. Simplifying the Group
The Legacy UK and European Card Protection business has, since 2012, been in decline. If not addressed, it will become both unprofitable and a significant drain on the Group’s resources. Our intention is to exit our Legacy operation in a sensible and compliant manner.
We’ve already made progress, withdrawing from China, Bangladesh, and Mexico. In 2023 the Group exited from our Legacy operations in Spain, and commenced the closure process for our UK Legacy business. In all our Legacy markets, whilst wind-downs are being initiated and executed, the priority remains to provide the best service possible to our customers.
The Group has disposed of its interest in non-core business, KYND, and has planned the divestment of our interests in Globiva as we simplify the Group and transform to a digitally-led parametric business.
