Financial communications specialist Prosek handles GTCR’s announcement of the $24B sale of Worldpay, payments technology company, to Global Payments.
The Chicago private company bought a 55 percent stake in Global Payments in July 23 from FIS. That deal had a valuation of $18.5B.
GTCR then partnered with Worldpay CEO Charles Drucker to expand global processing capabilities, launch new services, and enhance fraud prevention offerings.
Colin Roche, GTCR co-CEO, said the firm is proud of reestablishing Worldpay as “an innovative, customer-centric, growth-focused independent company” and looks forward to becoming a long-term strategic partner to the combined business of Worldpay and Global Payments.
Under the transaction set to close during the first-half of 2026, GTCR will hold a 15 percent stake in Global Payments.
