Global Payments is reshaping its business by acquiring Worldpay for $24.25 billion and divesting its Issuer Solutions unit to FIS for $13.5 billion. The move positions Global Payments as a pure-play merchant solutions provider, enabling 94 billion transactions annually and processing $3.7 trillion in payments. The company expects $600 million in cost synergies and $200 million in new revenue from the combined capabilities across ecommerce, SMB, and platform payments.
