WorldPay is now a market-leading payment service provider with an ever-growing number of over 20,000 customers trading over the Internet and more than 1,200 strategic banking and e-commerce partners worldwide.

WorldPay provide a wide range of products and services designed to meet the exacting requirements of trading online - but that can be tailored to meet the individual needs of a business.

Products and Services

  • Internet Merchant Account. To accept payment over the internet, by phone fax or email, you will need a merchant account (sometimes called an Internet Merchant Account / IMA). This is distinct and separate to any merchant account that you may already have with a bank. WorldPay can:
    • provide you with a WorldPay merchant account directly within as little as 7-10 days after application. WorldPay accepts over 90% of companies that apply for merchant account facilities.
    • process your online transactions through any existing Internet merchant account (IMA) you may have already set up with a bank.
  • Repeat Billing. For instalments, subscriptions or any type of repeat payments (like direct debits and standing orders, but drawn on card - rather than bank - accounts).
  • Internet Terminal. WorldPay’s Internet-based payment terminal enables customers to take payments over the phone, by fax or e-mail. Ideal for mail/telephone order companies or call centre type operations.
  • Fraud Prevention. WorldPay supports the full range of fraud-prevention methods including online transaction authorisation, cardholder verification (i.e. via Verified by Visa and MasterCard Secure Code), and Address Verification Service (AVS). In addition, WorldPay has developed several in-house fraud detection/protection tools that are designed to avoid hassle and minimise financial loss (including the WorldPay Guarantee which can protect you against financial loss due to fraud).
  • Multiple currencies and languages. WorldPay can help you accept payments in most currencies and provide international shoppers with dialogue in their own language.
  • Customer Service support. Comprehensive multi-lingual service - available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You can also view your WorldPay IMA online and manage your account remotely.
