Cincinnati, Ohio, July 9, 2025 / TRAVELINDEX / Worldpay, a global leader in payment technology and solutions, today announced the launch of acquiring capabilities in Thailand, further expanding its presence in the Asia-Pacific region. This expansion is a key component of Worldpay's strategy to enable global merchants to serve local consumers with preferred payment methods and accelerate commerce through higher authorization rates, robust fraud protection, and efficient settlement. Worldpay offers 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.

“The payments landscape in Thailand is evolving rapidly. We are seeing a significant shift from cash to digital wallets and account-to-account (A2A) payments. For merchants in this market, it is therefore increasingly important to offer their customers the best possible shopping experience with the fastest and most secure payments possible,” said Gabriel de Montessus, President of Global Enterprise at Worldpay. “Our local experts are helping merchants optimize their offerings, manage complex processes, and accept the right mix of payment methods to unlock growth opportunities.”

With this expansion, Worldpay offers its leading card acceptance services in Thailand, enabling Thai merchants to process domestic payments in local currency. In addition to card acceptance, Worldpay provides access to four leading alternative payment methods: LINE Pay, TrueMoney, PromptPay, and online banking. Thai merchants also benefit from Worldpay's value-added solutions, including robust, multi-layered fraud protection, dispute resolution services, and consulting services based on the company's global data analytics. For international businesses, Worldpay offers a single integration platform for operations in over 170 countries.

Local and international companies operating in Thailand will seek to capture a share of the country's rapidly growing e-commerce market, which, according to the latest Worldpay Global Payments Report, is projected to grow by 9% annually until 2030. Worldpay recently announced its expansion into Colombia, Mexico, and the United Arab Emirates, continuing its strategic goal of expanding its payment processing capabilities globally.
