Divestments
In February 2023, in the wake of pressure from activist investors, the company announced it would spin off its merchant business that consisted of Worldpay in the 12 months that followed. In July 2023, FIS agreed to sell a 55 percent stake in Worldpay to private equity firm GTCR for $11.7 billion, valuing Worldpay at $18.5 billion. On February 1, 2024, the company announced it had completed the sale of a majority stake in its Worldpay Merchant Solutions business to GTCR in a transaction that valued the deal at US$18.5 billion, including US$1 billion contingent on returns realized by GTCR. FIS will maintain commercial agreements with Worldpay and will create a joint strategic go-to-market partnership between the two entities.
In April 2025, Global Payments agreed to acquire Worldpay, for $22 billion from GTCR and FIS. As part of this deal, they also agreed to sell their Issuer Solutions business, TSYS, to FIS for $13.5 billion. The transaction was completed in January 2026, and upon completion of the transaction, FIS no longer held an ownership interest in Worldpay.
