Payment processing and internet merchant account

Designed for small and start-up businesses and for any business that wants to be able to accept payments in a range of currencies, the WorldDirect package provides both the internet merchant account (IMA) a business needs to trade on the internet and WorldPay's payment processing service.

The WorldDirect package enables you to accept a wide range of payments over the internet. It opens up new markets, allowing you to trade in most global currencies. And because it combines the services you would traditionally find through several card schemes, payment processors and banks, it also saves you time and hassle.

Setting up a WorldPay internet merchant account is easy. No need to supply reams of balance sheets: we do a simple credit check and over 90% of applicants are approved in just 7-10 days.

You can add other WorldPay solutions to the WorldDirect package including our billing, internet terminal (for payment by phone, fax and mail), anti-fraud and fraud protection solutions.
