Paysafe and Spreedly partner for global merchant payments

By Vriti Gothi

Global payments platform Paysafe has partnered with payment orchestration provider Spreedly, enabling online merchants to access expanded card processing capabilities across Europe, North America, and other international markets.

Under the agreement, Spreedly has integrated Paysafe as an acquirer within its Open Payments Platform. The integration allows merchants using Spreedly’s orchestration layer to process credit and debit card transactions through the Paysafe Gateway, with transactions completed in real time.

Spreedly’s platform currently connects to more than 140 payment gateways and supports over 40 payment methods. The addition of Paysafe is intended to enhance acquiring optionality for merchants operating in sectors such as financial services, eCommerce, travel, and digital trading.

The partnership is already operational, with Paysafe processing card payments for several online trading brokers and financial services firms via Spreedly. Additional merchant onboarding is underway, with further launches expected through the end of 2026.

Beyond card acquiring, the collaboration is expected to expand to include Paysafe’s alternative payment methods. These include its digital wallets Skrill and Neteller, as well as PaysafeCard, a prepaid option designed for consumers who prefer cash-based online transactions.

Rob Gatto, Chief Revenue Officer at Paysafe, said, “We’re excited to partner with Spreedly, which is a major player in the payment orchestration space with well over a decade’s experience. With the Paysafe Gateway a trusted solution for card payments among forex and financial trading brokers and a wide range of other industries, we look forward to strengthening Spreedly’s Open Payment Platform and streamlining payments for its merchant users and their customers.” 

Michael Rokos, Partner Strategy Director at Spreedly, commented, “At Spreedly, we believe open payments drive better outcomes for merchants. Bringing Paysafe onto our Open Payments Platform expands optionality for our customers and reinforces our mission to provide a flexible, future-ready infrastructure for global commerce.”

The partnership reflects a broader industry shift toward payment orchestration, as merchants seek to reduce dependency on single acquirers, improve authorisation rates, and optimise costs across regions. For acquirers such as Paysafe, integration with orchestration platforms provides scalable distribution to global merchants without requiring direct integrations, while enabling access to high-growth digital sectors including online trading and cross-border commerce.
