UK-based payments platform Paysafe has chosen US investment bank J.P. Morgan as its core banking provider.

Under the alliance, the bank’s payments business, which specialises in corporate treasury services, trade finance, card and merchant services, will offer its services to Paysafe. 

The bank will support Paysafe in offering payment gateway and acquiring services for businesses across a range of industries.

These include the travel sector, where the payment firm provides customised services to support businesses as they emerge from the pandemic.

Paysafe will also tap J.P. Morgan to enhance its scheme payment settlements, handling of merchant payment flows, foreign exchange and multi-currency settlements, among other things.

In addition, J.P. Morgan will provide the firm with data insights and analysis to support its ongoing expansion.
