RetailMeNot, the US-based digital coupon marketplace operator formerly known as WhaleShark Media, has acquired Abcyne, a French discount code distributor and price comparison website publisher.
Terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.
Abcyne, which operates digital coupon website Ma-reduc.com and a couple of other websites that allow consumers to save on goods and services online, will become part of RetailMeNot’s network in France alongside Bons-de-Reduction.com and cashback service Poulpeo.
Luc Clément and Jérôme Gremez, who co-founded Abcyne / Ma-reduc.com in 2004, will remain in charge of the website and support RetailMeNot’s ongoing operations in France.
