Description: GPN Global Payments October 16, 2025

Global Payments Inc. (NYSE:GPN) delivers payment technology and software across card, check, and digital channels in the Americas, Europe, and Asia-Pacific, operating through two primary segments: Merchant Solutions and Issuer Solutions.

The Merchant Solutions segment handles end-to-end transaction processing-including authorization, settlement, funding, chargeback resolution, and reporting-while also offering enterprise software such as point-of-sale systems, analytics, payroll, and human-capital management tools for a range of vertical markets. The Issuer Solutions segment provides platforms that let financial institutions and retailers manage card portfolios, plus commercial-payment, accounts-payable, and electronic-payment alternatives for businesses and governments.

Key recent metrics: FY2023 revenue reached approximately **$8.5 billion**, up about **5 % YoY**, and the company processed roughly **$7.5 trillion** in transaction volume, reflecting continued growth in digital and e-commerce payments. A primary economic driver is the accelerating shift toward cashless transactions and real-time payments, while sector dynamics such as PSD2 compliance in Europe and rising merchant discount rates in a higher-interest-rate environment directly impact margins.
