Vantiv (Now Worldpay) is one of the largest payment processors in the world. WorldPay offers in-house merchant services, not outsourced like many of their peers. WorldPay integrates with many third-party POS equipment providers. WorldPay outsources equipment and technology from other companies.

Here are some of the features that make WorldPay standout:


  • Services for every size business

  • Mobile payment solutions

  • Brick-and-mortar payment solutions

  • POS systems for every business type

vantiv Overview

 

According to its website, WorldPay caters to size businesses. The company also sells to every industry.

Pricing varies based on each business's needs. You will not find mention of fees and rates on their website. They use in-person sales reps to sell their merchant solutions. There are no hidden fees, but they do have an early termination fee, setup fee, and ongoing monthly fees depending on your business's size and the industry within which it operates. Higher-risk businesses pay more than low-risk merchants.

We have found mainly mixed reviews of WorldPay online. On the Trustpilot website, there are 2,591 reviews. Half are bad. The other half mostly excellent. This is why it rates three stars.
