Multiplying what’s possible

Global Payments completed its acquisition of Worldpay and divestiture of its Issuer Solutions business on January 9, 2026, creating a leading pure-play merchant solutions company. We announced definitive agreements for these transactions on April 17, 2025.

Global Payments is joining forces with Worldpay, multiplying what’s possible for our clients and partners by focusing our resources toward a single vision — to ignite business growth and enrich lives around the world.

Our combined capabilities and capacity allow us to deliver more products and services to merchants of all sizes across the globe. In an industry where scale and distribution capabilities matter more than ever, we are well positioned for growth opportunities.

Our combined talent has the innovative spirit and expertise to anticipate what our clients need, and we are putting all our energy and expertise into building feature-rich products and distinctive service experiences.

Importantly, the products clients rely on, including flagship solutions like Genius and Worldpay’s ecommerce capabilities, are now even better together.

The combined company serves more than 6 million merchant locations globally, enabling approximately 94 billion transactions annually across more than 175 countries, processing in 153 currencies. This represents $3.7 trillion in annual payment volume. We bring the benefits of global scale with localized expertise, providing worldwide reach with deep understanding of regional payment preferences, regulatory requirements and merchant-specific needs in the markets we serve.

Our global footprint, combined with our breadth of products and extensive distribution channels, enables innovation at scale. With over $1 billion in annual business investment, we can develop solutions faster and bring them to more markets than ever before.

Global Payments is focused on delivering more for clients and partners:

• More capabilities: By combining our capabilities and focusing as a company exclusively on merchants, clients and partners will benefit from a wider array of feature-rich products and services — now from a single provider.
• More reach: We are expanding our geographic reach, offering the benefits of global scale and distribution channels with localized expertise to help merchants grow their businesses with confidence.
• More innovation: Increased investment in innovation means smarter tech, faster development and a competitive advantage for merchants and partners.
• More expertise: We are one team focused on making everyday commerce better for merchants. The exceptional service and reliability that clients and partners expect from us will be available across more products, services and geographic regions.

Clients and partners will now be able to select a broader range of feature-rich products and differentiated services designed to elevate their business. Worldpay clients can seamlessly adopt Genius, Global Payments’ advanced POS platform, delivering powerful functionality and enhanced client experiences. At the same time, Global Payments clients gain access to Worldpay’s enterprise-grade and ecommerce capabilities, enabling them to expand their omnichannel presence and drive growth.

We are also streamlining product development under a single, unified organization — driving faster innovation and smarter investment decisions. By replacing fragmented development tracks with common platforms, we’re delivering solutions that scale seamlessly across segments and geographies.

And for clients seeking next gen technology, we offer clear, guided migration paths to modern, cloud-based solutions, unlocking new capabilities while ensuring uninterrupted service. Every innovation dollar now fuels one merchant-focused development engine, purpose-built to meet the needs of Enterprise, SMB and Integrated & Platforms clients.

Cameron Bready continues as CEO, leading a unified executive leadership team that brings together exceptional talent from both organizations. Josh Whipple continues to lead the combined company as CFO. Details about our new Executive Leadership Team are available on the Investor Relations section of our website.

We are committed to operating as one unified company under the Global Payments brand, bringing together the best talent and solutions from both organizations. The Global Payments brand represents the strengths and unique value propositions of the companies that have become part of the Global Payments’ family over the years.

We will share specific brand transition timelines and implementation details at a later date.
