Founded in 2001 as a spin-off from National Data Corporation, Global Payments built its core around merchant acquiring and payment processing for SMBs. Through a series of transformative acquisitions — Heartland (2016), TSYS (2019), EVO Payments (2023), and Worldpay (2024) — the company has evolved from a domestic SMB acquirer into a global payment technology and software conglomerate processing nearly $4 trillion in volume across 100+ countries. The embedded finance strategy now centers on offering merchants and ISV/SaaS platforms access to payments, lending, and vertical software as an integrated commerce ecosystem rather than standalone processing services.
