Driving Innovation
Our History
It all started with an idea. In 1967, George W. Thorpe, a retired Deputy Director of Intelligence with the US Air Force, conceived a plan to offer specialized data processing services. Launched as National Data Corporation (NDC) in Atlanta, the company quickly opened offices in three other U.S. cities.
Renamed Global Payments Inc. in 2000, we’ve continued our trajectory of growth and innovation. Today, Global Payments is a worldwide leader in payments technology and software solutions. From Atlanta to Shanghai and Sao Paolo to Dublin, we help businesses of all sizes leverage technology to thrive in a global economy.
