With the Worldpay acquisition now finalized, Global Payments significantly expands its global footprint and capabilities. The combined organization will serve more than six million merchant locations, processing roughly $3.7 trillion in payment volume and close to 94 billion transactions each year across more than 175 countries. This scale positions the company to support everyone from small local businesses to the world’s largest enterprises.
