With Worldpay experiencing a 290 percent increase in e-wallet transaction volume in 2017 followed by a 130 percent rise by the end of 2018, the company comprehensively guides organizations on ways to optimally benefit from this upsurge. From maximizing the use of e-wallets with regard to certain types of payments such as recurring subscriptions to allowing clients to launch their e-wallets in the market as quickly and effectively as possible, Worldpay offers a range of technical integration options. “Our hosted payment pages offer more than 60 popular payment methods. We have also built a proof of concept that shows how payments could be made using a consumer’s voice to complete an online checkout using a mobile wallet,” adds Pomford.

The effectiveness of Worldpay’s payment processing solutions can be illustrated by the company’s collaboration with Thai Airways International (THAI)—the flagship carrier airline of Thailand—that was recently in search of an international payments partner. THAI needed an experienced partner to support its overseas growth strategy by managing the complexities of cross-border payments and optimizing the online booking journey through desktops as well as smartphones. The airline selected Worldpay for its global reach, vast experience of more than 25 years, and expertise in both card and alternative payment methods (APMs). Worldpay has been helping THAI keep abreast of the rapidly changing customer preferences and increasing global m-commerce penetration by widening the airline’s range of payment methods and transaction currencies. As a result, THAI has registered two percent growth in its passenger traffic in Australia and 2.5 percent across Europe over the last year. With Worldpay’s advanced data analytics capabilities that provide rich insights into transaction approval rates and payment costs, THAI is now looking forward to extending its operations to India, China, and the rest of APAC region.

Worldpay has scripted a number of such customer success stories with its ability to power global, integrated omnicommerce. The company now plans to expand into high-growth markets, verticals, and customer segments, including global eCommerce, integrated payments, and B2B. “We are focused on enhancing our regional footprint and helping clients expand into more new markets,” concludes Pomford.
