SEPA payments
SEPA (Single Euro Payment Area) is a European regulatory initiative to create a standard format for processing Euro transactions across 47 markets in Europe. Our SEPA section explains the recipient bank details that we must capture to execute Euro (EUR) payments to SEPA countries and territories.
Domestic payments
In countries where we have an active bank partner and operating account, payments can be made directly into the local clearing system.
This has a number of advantages in terms of costs and efficiencies but requires that the payment request contains the recipient bank account details in a format consistent with the demands of the local bank clearing policies. The domestic payments section:
Defines the required recipient bank account details
Identifies the API fields that should be used when submitting payment instructions to the Worldpay AP interface
International payments
For countries where we do not have an active bank partnership, we facilitate a worldwide payment remittance service by utilising the international payment capabilities provided by our bank partners.
The international payments section also describes the recipient bank information required for payments that must be routed by this international capability.

Worldpay and Paysafe Group have today (Monday) announced a new strategic partnership with the aim of capitalising on growth within the US iGaming and sports betting markets.
Worldpay Gambling Support
The two payment technology providers will work together to develop new solutions for payments acceptance and security across both sectors.
Worldpay – acquired by Vantiv earlier this year – will leverage its optimised credit card processing, fast-fund payouts, and various treasury and payment solutions. Paysafe will call upon its range of online gambling digital payment options, such as the NETELLER digital wallet and paysafecard online cash solution.
Using these technologies, Worldpay and Paysafe said they will be able to provide seamless connectivity via a single point of integration to a range of payments, including credit card processing, digital wallets and cash payment solutions.
Joel Leonoff, president and CEO at Paysafe, said the solution would allow operators in the US to offer customers a “secure, cost-effective and highly configurable payments platform that delivers an unparalleled player experience”.
Worldpay Internet Gambling
“Our innovative approach means we can support all transactions, no matter how the player wants to pay,” Leonoff explained.
Worldpay executive vice president and head of global enterprise ecommerce Shane Happach added: “As a leading payments provider for iGaming companies, state lotteries and land-based casinos, Worldpay is excited about the enhancements this partnership will bring when it comes to maximizing payment acceptance, enabling new digital wallets, as well as minimizing fraud risk and lowering cost.
“Our combined strengths and capabilities will simplify payments for gaming operators, while also continuing to show our attentiveness to responsible gaming and our mission to protect the integrity of every transaction.”
The move comes at a time of significant growth in the US market, due in part to the Supreme Court’s ruling on PASPA earlier this year, which opened up legal sports betting to all states.
New Jersey, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Mississippi, West Virginia and Rhode Island have all moved to legalise sports betting in the wake of the ruling, while sports betting is also available in New Mexico at the Santa Ana Star Casino under tribal laws.
