French grocer Casino Guichard-Perrachon SA and bank BNP Paribas SA said Tuesday that they have signed an agreement for the acquisition of payment-services provider FLOA by the bank.

BNP Paribas will acquire FLOA for a total 258 million euros ($304.5 million), the companies said in a joint release with bank Credit Mutuel. FLOA is a subsidiary of Casino and Credit Mutuel Alliance Federale. The two companies will each receive EUR129 million.

The agreement also involves a long-term strategic and commercial partnership between BNP Paribas and Casino, the companies said, with the bank to provide consumer-credit products for Casino customers.

The transaction is expected to go ahead in the coming quarters, subject to regulatory approvals and employee consultations, the companies said.
