Worldpay has launched domestic acquiring services in Thailand, adding the country to its Asia-Pacific footprint, which now includes ten markets.
The move allows Thai merchants to access local settlement in baht and integrate key alternative payment methods such as PromptPay, LINE Pay, TrueMoney, and online banking options.
This development is part of the company’s wider expansion efforts, following recent entries into Colombia, Mexico, and the United Arab Emirates. The strategic aim is to increase Worldpay’s domestic acquiring capabilities globally, particularly in markets with growing demand for digital payments.
Supporting ecommerce growth in Thailand
Thailand’s ecommerce sector is projected to grow at an average annual rate of 9% through 2030, according to Worldpay’s Global Payments Report. As more Thai consumers shift away from cash in favour of digital wallets and account-to-account (A2A) payments, local and international businesses are adjusting to meet changing expectations around speed and security.
Officials from Worldpay noted that the shift in consumer preferences highlights the need for merchants to offer the right mix of localised payment options. Representatives also stated that the company's local teams assist merchants in navigating regulatory and operational challenges, while also providing access to data-driven insights and tools for fraud prevention and dispute management.
In addition to alternative payments, Thai businesses can now leverage Worldpay’s multi-layered fraud protection systems and advisory services. The company also offers global merchants a single integration point to process payments in over 170 countries.
Worldpay’s expansion in Colombia
In May 2025, Worldpay expanded its domestic acquiring services to Colombia in a move that added to its existing operations in the region.
This particular market entry formed part of a wider strategy to increase the global availability of its acquiring infrastructure. With Colombia’s ecommerce sector growing rapidly, the country is viewed as a strategic location for both regional expansion and supporting global merchants looking to access local consumers.
