What Paysafe does

Paysafe is a London-headquartered, NYSE-listed global payments provider operating in 120+ countries with approximately 2,800-3,300 employees across 12 countries. The company processes roughly $167 billion in annualized transaction volume and serves more than 200,000 merchants and 18 million consumers annually across iGaming, video gaming, travel, retail/eCommerce, financial services, and petroleum verticals.

Paysafe's platform combines five product pillars: card processing (NETBANX, PCI Level 1 compliant with 3D Secure 2.0); digital wallets (Skrill, Neteller, and the newly launched PaysafeWallet with IBAN-enabled accounts); eCash solutions (PaysafeCard prepaid codes at 650,000+ retail points and PaysafeCash barcodes at 200,000+ locations); open banking ("Pay by Bank" via Certegy risk warranty); and cryptocurrency ("Pay with Crypto" via MoonPay). Distribution spans direct enterprise sales, 3,000+ ISOs/agents, app-store self-serve for wallets, retail distribution for eCash, and ISV partnerships via Primer, Clover, and SwipeSimple. The company augments its core platform with acquired brands SafetyPay and PagoEfectivo for Latin America and viafintech for German cash services.

Paysafe generates revenue primarily through transaction fees across its processing, wallet, eCash, and APM rails (260+ alternative payment methods). Enterprise pricing is quote-based and SMB pricing is transaction-based with monthly billing; rates are not publicly disclosed. The company's Q1 2026 revenue mix showed digital wallet at $216.3M (+15% YoY) and total revenue of $442.7M (+10% YoY), against full-year 2025 revenue of $1.701 billion (essentially flat YoY on a 5% organic basis). AI/ML is applied to fraud detection, payment routing optimization, and localized payment recommendations, with exploratory work on agentic commerce infrastructure for AI assistants.
