Worldpay

Worldpay is one of the world's largest payment processing companies, headquartered in London, United Kingdom. Originally founded in 1989 as part of the Royal Bank of Scotland Group, Worldpay has evolved through multiple corporate transformations — including its 2019 merger with FIS (Fidelity National Information Services) and subsequent 2024 separation — into a standalone global payments leader.

The company processes payments across 150+ countries and supports 300+ payment methods in 126 currencies. Worldpay's enterprise-grade platform handles approximately 40% of global card transactions, making it a dominant force in the global payments infrastructure and a trusted partner for Tier-1 iGaming operators requiring high-volume, high-reliability processing.

Worldpay's UK heritage gives it deep regulatory expertise in one of the world's most established online gambling markets. The company holds acquiring licences across the EU, US, and Asia-Pacific, and its platform is designed for merchants processing billions in annual transaction volume.
