Worldpay

About Worldpay Worldpay is a global payment processing and financial technology company headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio, processing over 40 billion transactions annually across 146 countries and 135 currencies.

The platform provides end-to-end merchant acquiring, omni-commerce payment acceptance, fraud prevention, and financial institution services to enterprises, platforms, and small businesses worldwide.

Worldpay supports over 300 payment types including credit cards, debit cards, digital wallets, bank transfers, and alternative payment methods through a unified gateway and API-driven architecture.

Originally founded in 1971 as Midwest Payment Systems by Fifth Third Bank, Worldpay evolved through decades of acquisitions and rebranding, becoming one of the largest non-bank merchant acquirers globally with $4.9 billion in annual revenue.

Merchants integrate Worldpay via APIs, hosted payment pages, or point-of-sale terminals, while the platform handles authorization, settlement, risk management, and compliance across card networks.

In January 2026, Global Payments completed the acquisition of Worldpay for $24.25 billion, combining both companies into a leading pure-play commerce solutions provider serving millions of merchants worldwide.
