One platform, more possibility:  now supercharging payments in the UK

Worldpay for Platforms has officially launched in the UK, bringing embedded payments purpose-built for software platforms expanding across borders. Discover why this move matters, what it means for your platform, and how embedded payments can power your next phase of growth.

Updated on July 15, 2025

If there’s one thing we’ve learned from working with incredible software partners around the world, it’s that growth isn’t always about moving fast, it can be about moving smart. So when we decided to bring Worldpay for Platforms to the UK, it wasn’t a snap decision. It was a natural next step.

Our expansion into the UK reflects something we’ve been hearing consistently from our partners:

"We’re ready to serve more markets and we need payments to keep up.”

Software platforms are scaling across borders faster than ever. Whether it’s fitness, education, field services, or childcare, these businesses are turning into ecosystems. And payments? They’re not just a function, they’re part of the user experience, the monetisation model, and the retention strategy. That’s where we come in.

With our launch in the UK, we’re bringing a proven, trusted, embedded payments offering to a market that’s ready for it, in a way that supports the unique needs of each partner. We’re not chasing volume. We’re focused on delivering value.

Here’s what that looks like in practice:

  • Scalable infrastructure to support multi-market growth
    Our solution has been purpose-built to meet the needs of platforms operating in multiple regions. One consistent experience, no matter the market.
  • Built-in compliance and risk controls
    We manage the complexity of payments regulation so platforms can stay focused on building great software…not deciphering global payment rules.
  • Customisable payout flows and merchant experiences
    Platforms can tailor the payments experience to their vertical’s exact needs, because childcare looks different from fitness, and both deserve more than one-size-fits-all.
  • Unified reporting across borders
    No more stitching together dashboards from different providers. Get a single view of your payments and performance, wherever your customers are.
  • A go-to-market mindset, not just a tech stack
    We intimately understand what software companies are trying to achieve. Our team works closely with partners on everything from commercial models to customer onboarding strategies. You don’t get a service, you get a business partner. We’re right there in your corner, helping to boost revenue, deepen customer loyalty, and unlock the full potential of your platform.

We know that embedded payments are no longer optional for vertical SaaS platforms, they’re a growth driver, and the UK market has an appetite for innovation, such as the surge in digital wallet adoption1. This presents a meaningful opportunity for platforms to deliver intuitive, unified payment experiences that keep customers coming back.

But this isn’t about making noise, it’s about making impact. We’re here to support software companies that want to serve their customers better, expand thoughtfully, and differentiate through experience.

To our current partners, thank you for helping us get here. And to those we haven’t met yet. if you're building something aspirational and looking for a payments partner to grow with you, let’s talk.
