NWG Natwest Group Plc

U.K.-based payment processing company Worldpay has hired Lazard to advise the company on a potential initial public offering, Sky News reported.

Advent International and Bain Capital bought a majority stake of Worldpay in 2010 for about 2 billion pounds from Royal Bank of Scotland Group PLC (RBS.LN, RBS). RBS sold its remaining stake in 2013.

The Sky News report said a London listing is the likeliest plan, although a New York listing is possible.
