Worldpay topped the board for Best Performing Gateway and Fastest Transactions by The Strawhecker Group

The analysis used real-time credit card transactions and pings from 30 global locations

Best Performing Gateway based on five metrics: gateway minute outage, availability, transaction speed, transaction success, and authorization rate

CINCINNATI, February, 2024 – Worldpay^®, a global industry leader in payments technology and solutions, has been awarded Best Performing Gateway and Fastest Transactions by payments analytics and intelligence firm TSG (The Strawhecker Group). The firm operates a proprietary Global Experience Monitoring (GEM) platform that monitors real-time credit card transactions and pings from 30 locations across the Americas, Europe and Asia Pacific to benchmark performance of payments gateways. Worldpay emerged as the winner from a group of 20 global payments providers analyzed in the TSG rankings.

Using data from 2023, the Best Performing Gateway award was based on five key metrics including gateway minute outage, availability, transaction speed, transaction success, and authorization rate, highlighting the superior reliability and enhanced experience of Worldpay’s payments platform. Further, Worldpay was recognized for the Fastest Transactions, which was based on the time it takes to complete authorization using a signature debit and a credit card. This performance is an improvement on the numbers from last year’s report where Worldpay was a runner-up in both categories.

“This recognition highlights the strength of the Worldpay payments platform, which delivers on reliability and on user experience with lightning-fast authorizations,” said David Cooper, Chief Technology Officer at Worldpay. “Our merchants and retailers rely on us to make their payments as seamless as possible, and their customers expect the same, which is the guiding principle for how we have engineered our payments gateway.”

In addition to these accolades, Worldpay was highlighted as a runner-up for Best Gateway Uptime.
