LONDON, MONTREAL, NEW YORK (February 16, 2016) –  Paysafe, a leading global payments provider, today announced that it has become a member of pan-European membership organisation, Vendorcom, to connect with key stakeholders in the payments community.

Vendorcom promotes innovation through collaboration and provides a range of opportunities for knowledge sharing within the payments industry. Through Vendercom, Paysafe will help the payments community to better understand and more effectively meet market needs.

Commenting on the membership, Andrea Dunlop, CEO Acquiring and Card Solutions at Paysafe said: “Payments exist in an ever changing eco-system, where there is increasing demand for innovative companies to provide solutions that challenge outdated traditional players. Our membership with Vendorcom and its member organisations reflects our increased commitment to growth in the European market for our core Payment Processing business.
