Paysafe and Pay.com Launch Strategic Partnership

Key Terms

payment orchestration technical

A centralized software layer that routes and manages a company’s customer payments across multiple banks, card networks and payment services, like an air-traffic controller directing flights to the best available runway. It matters to investors because it can raise the share of successful transactions, lower fees and downtime, speed expansion into new markets, and produce clearer payment data — all of which can boost revenue, margins and operational resilience.

acquirer financial

An acquirer is the person, company, or group that buys or takes control of another company in a merger or takeover. Investors care because the acquirer’s plans, financial strength and approach to integrating the target determine whether the deal will boost or erode value; like a buyer who renovates a house or strips it for parts, the acquirer’s strategy affects future profits, leadership, and the risks and returns for shareholders.

digital wallets financial

A digital wallet is an app or online service that lets people store and use payment details, identification, loyalty cards, or cryptocurrency on a phone or computer—think of it as a virtual version of a physical wallet that can pay for things, prove identity, or hold digital assets. Investors care because widespread use changes how consumers pay, shifts revenue toward companies that control these payment flows, and introduces technology, security and regulatory risks that can affect profits and valuation.

eCash financial

Ecash is electronic money used to make payments and store value without physical bills or coins, often issued by banks, payment providers, or built as digital tokens on a ledger. For investors, ecash matters because it can change how consumers and businesses move money, affect demand for banks and payment services, and create new revenue streams or costs; think of it as replacing a wallet with a smartphone app or digital token that reshapes commerce and fees.

alternative payment methods financial

Alternative payment methods are ways customers pay for goods and services other than traditional credit or debit cards, such as mobile wallets, bank transfers, prepaid accounts, buy‑now‑pay‑later plans, and digital currencies. They matter to investors because broad, convenient payment options can boost sales, reduce checkout abandonment and lower processing costs—think of them as adding more doors to a store so more customers can get in and buy. Adoption rates and fees for these methods affect a company’s revenue growth and profit margins.

risk engine technical

A risk engine is a computer-based tool that measures and models the chances an investment or portfolio will lose money under different scenarios. It combines data and rules to produce clear metrics—like potential loss amounts or likelihoods—so investors and managers can compare options, set limits, and price risk; think of it as a weather forecast for financial exposure that helps people prepare and make decisions.

Payment orchestration platform includes Paysafe among its acquirer options for merchants’ card payments and adds suite of its alternative payment methods

LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Paysafe (NYSE: PSFE), a leading payments platform, today announced a strategic partnership with Pay.com, a payments orchestration platform. The partnership sees Paysafe become one of the recommended acquirers for card transactions for online merchants using the Pay.com platform, which has also integrated Paysafe’s Skrill and Neteller digital wallets and its PaysafeCard eCash solution, among other alternative payment methods (APMs).

As a pioneer in intelligent payment orchestration, Pay.com’s technology enhances the checkout experience by leveraging advanced orchestration with a centralised risk engine to maximise acceptance and authorisation rates. The platform now includes Paysafe’s seamless payment processing of credit card and debit card transactions. Whether a merchant serves the e-commerce, travel, regulated iGaming, or financial services sector, Pay.com will offer Paysafe as one of its acquirer options for card payments, allowing merchants to benefit from the company’s 30 years’ experience as a processor across diverse industry verticals.

Aligned with Pay.com’s ethos of providing merchants and their customers with a comprehensive range of payment options, the orchestration platform has also integrated Paysafe’s flagship digital wallets, Skrill and Neteller. Launched over two decades ago, live across 130 countries and boasting high brand recognition among iGaming and e-commerce consumers, the wallets will serve to further strengthen Pay.com’s APM offering globally and in niche industries.

Other Paysafe APMs integrated by the Pay.com platform include PaysafeCard, a voucher-based solution that enables cash-focused consumers to transact online with their favourite payment method.

Paysafe is already live and processing payments for multiple Pay.com merchant customers, with 20+ additional merchants expected to be onboarded under the partnership by end-2026.

Rob Gatto, Chief Revenue Officer at Paysafe, said: “We’re delighted to unveil our strategic partnership with Pay.com, a true innovator in the field of payments orchestration. Our collaboration will likely be a game-changer for online merchants, optimising payment routing, enhancing approval rates, and, above all, strengthening their checkouts and ultimately customer relationships.
