JPMorgan has bought a 75% stake in German car giant Volkswagen's payments business, the second acquisition by the US bank in Europe in the past four months.

The bank said that it had struck a deal with Volkswagen Financial Services to take a controlling 75% stake in its payments platform, and has plans to expand the unit into other industries following the acquisition.
