Worldpay, a global provider of payments technology and solutions, has announced the addition of domestic acquiring capabilities in Thailand, strengthening its presence in the Asia Pacific market.This expansion is central to Worldpay’s strategy of enabling global merchants to serve local consumers with preferred payment types, aiming to accelerate commerce through improved authorization rates, robust fraud protection, and efficient settlements. Worldpay currently supports domestic acquiring capabilities in nine markets across the Asia Pacific region, including Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan, Malaysia, India, South Korea, and now Thailand.Gabriel de Montessus, president of global enterprise at Worldpay, commented on the development: “The payments landscape is rapidly evolving in Thailand as we’re seeing a significant shift from cash use to digital wallets and account-to-account (A2A). It’s increasingly important for merchants operating in the market to deliver the right shopper experience with the fastest, most secure payments possible. Our in-market experts help merchants optimize their offerings, navigate complexities, and ensure they accept the right mix of payment types, enabling them to unlock growth opportunities.”The expansion introduces Worldpay’s card acquiring services into Thailand, allowing the company to provide domestic settlements in local currency to Thai merchants. In addition to card acquiring, Worldpay is launching access to four leading alternative payment methods in the market: LINE Pay, TrueMoney, PromptPay, and online banking. Thai merchants will also gain access to Worldpay’s value-added solutions, including multi-layered fraud protection, dispute management services, and consultative expertise supported by the company’s global data insights. For global operators, Worldpay offers a single point of integration for conducting business in over 170 countries.Local and international businesses operating in Thailand are positioned to capture a share of the country’s rapidly growing e-commerce market, which is projected to expand by 9% annually through 2030, according to the latest Worldpay Global Payments Report. This move into Thailand follows Worldpay’s recent expansions in Colombia, Mexico, and the United Arab Emirates, aligning with its strategic objective to expand its domestic acquiring capabilities worldwide.
