Worldpay Supports Apple Pay

Worldpay, a leading global provider of payments services, announced today support for Apple Pay. Worldpay merchants with Near Field Communication (NFC) enabled payment terminals are now able to accept Apple Pay from customers using iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.

Apple Pay offers an easy, secure and private way to pay. It has been Worldpay’s ongoing practice to provide merchants with future-ready payment acceptance capabilities and products that are compatible with the constantly evolving payments ecosystem. In addition, Worldpay has been deploying NFC capable solutions for merchants for many years to enable payments acceptance. Apple Pay fits with Worldpay’s strategy to offer simple and secure ways to accept payments.

“Enabling our merchants to process Apple Pay payments is a natural extension of Worldpay’s secure payment offerings,” said Tony Catalfano, President and CEO of Worldpay US. “We are committed to ongoing improvements that enable our merchants to accept new methods of payment as they evolve and intersect with new technologies. For merchants, this is just one of many direct benefits they receive from Worldpay payment services,” adds Catalfano.

Firehouse Subs, a longtime Worldpay customer adds: “Firehouse Subs is excited to continue to be a leader in the industry with the early adoption of Apple Pay at select restaurants, as well as a nationwide roll out planned for first quarter of next year,” says Firehouse Subs CEO Don Fox. “We’re always seeking ways to simplify operations and enhance the overall guest experience; Apple Pay allows us to do that while remaining competitive in a highly-engaged and evolving industry.”

As part of Worldpay’s thought leadership efforts, Worldpay will host a FREE educational webinar, “What you need to know about Apple Pay and mobile wallets,” on November 11, 2014, from 2 - 3 pm EST. Worldpay product experts will explain the benefits of accepting mobile wallets and provide real life examples to demonstrate just how easy it is to enable a business to do so.
