GLOBAL REACH WITH LOCAL EXPERTISE
business verticals
As your business grows globally, it makes sense to offer the right payment options to your customers with the payment methods they prefer, no matter where they are. It is worthwhile to seek the kind of local expertise that only a payments expert can offer. With offices around the world, and 40 years of experience, Worldpay delivers multi-currency, cross-border payment expertise. We bring our local knowledge to your commerce needs under one roof.
As new markets open, do you offer your customers the currencies and payment types they want to use? Accepting the local currency and letting customers pay how they want helps to make it easier for customers to buy from you and makes them more willing to become repeat customers. It’s a win/win for everyone.

Take your payments global
Global expansion usually means finding multiple vendors and partners to help in each new market. This can lead to fractured operations, higher costs and less transaction optimization. Do you have the time, resources and money to find several payment partners and solutions to take your payments global?

Real-time cash reporting allows you to access your account statements and balances in real time via APIs – so you can use that information faster and incorporate it into different business processes. For example, you might quickly identify that the balance on a particular account is zero, and that funds need to be transferred over before a particular payment can be released.
Real-time cash reporting
Your customers might pay with a Visa or Mastercard, but what about the payment type local to your newest market that you’ve never heard of? Don’t worry, Worldpay knows. We support digital wallets and the most popular local payment methods across regions, including over 300 alternative payment methods (APMs), and we work in 146 local, familiar currencies in more than 65 markets.

Central bank digital currencies, while nascent, could provide additional payment methods with central bank issued money.

Real-time payments are cleared within seconds, instead of minutes, hours or days – which takes the uncertainty out of the settlement process and provides instant visibility over the status of payments. Modern real-time payment schemes can also carry more remittance data than traditional payment methods, speeding up the reconciliation process.

Real-time payments are typically associated with a lower cost than more traditional Real Time Gross Settlement (RTGS) payment methods. They can also drive process efficiencies that may lead to further cost savings.

All your global payment needs under one roof
Think big, think global
In late 2022, the global population surpassed 8 billion people , and doesn’t show signs of stopping. This means more consumers and transactions, with global e-commerce expected to grow to over US$4.6 trillion . This also opens an opportunity for your business to expand to new markets and reach new customers.
Entering new markets is always a challenge; entering new ones around the world is an even bigger undertaking. Finding the right payments partner, like Worldpay from FIS®, can make global payments easier and reduce the barriers to entry when entering markets alone. Accepting card payments in over 146 countries, domestic acquiring in over 65 countries and with decades of experience, Worldpay can help you confidently expand to new markets and meet customers where they live.
So, what happens when we look at some of the most interesting payment innovations through each of these lenses?
It’s one thing to expand to a new market. It’s another to understand each market’s local payment needs and requirements. Each is unique, and you should consider local expertise to get your payments right from the beginning to find long-term success. Where do you find the insight you need when it’s time to enter a new market?
Finding the right local provider to help get your payments off the ground in a new market can be costly and time consuming. But it doesn’t need to be. With offices around the world and support staff available 24/7, Worldpay delivers a global reach with local knowledge and expertise.
Central bank digital currencies have the potential to reduce the risk of fraud as they increase the traceability of transactions and support greater monitoring of financial activity.
