PayPal for online gaming and specialized digital payments.

A global digital payments company like PayPal, but also allowing users to pay online with cash.

• Payment Processing: This service enables businesses to accept various forms of payments, including credit cards, debit cards, and alternative payment methods, across online, mobile, and in-store channels.
• Digital Wallets (Skrill & NETELLER): These platforms allow consumers to store money, send and receive payments, and make purchases online without directly using bank accounts or credit cards.
• Prepaid Solutions (paysafecard): This product offers a prepaid online payment method, allowing users to pay online using a 16-digit PIN without needing a bank account or credit card.

Paysafe (symbol: PSFE) primarily sells its payment processing, digital wallet, and online cash solutions to other companies (B2B) rather than directly to individuals. Their customers are businesses that need to process payments from their own end-users.

While Paysafe serves a diverse range of online businesses across various sectors, its largest and most strategically important customer segment is the online gaming (iGaming) and sports betting industry. Given the competitive nature of payment processing, Paysafe does not publicly disclose a comprehensive list of all its major customers. However, based on public announcements and industry presence, the following are examples of prominent public companies in the online gaming sector that have partnered with or utilize Paysafe's services:

• DraftKings (Symbol: DKNG)
• FanDuel (Part of Flutter Entertainment - Symbol: FLTR.L on the LSE, PDYPY as an ADR)
• BetMGM (A joint venture between MGM Resorts International - Symbol: MGM - and Entain Plc - Symbol: ENT.L on the LSE, GMVHY as an ADR)
• Caesars Sportsbook (Part of Caesars Entertainment - Symbol: CZR)

It's important to note that these companies often utilize multiple payment service providers, and Paysafe's specific role may vary by region or product. Paysafe also serves many other online merchants across sectors like digital goods, financial services (forex brokers), and travel, but the online gaming sector represents a significant portion of their identified major customers.

• Visa Inc. (V)
• Mastercard Incorporated (MA)

• Widespread Adoption of Real-time Payments (RTP) and Open Banking Initiatives: This emerging paradigm shifts payment infrastructure towards direct, instant, and often lower-cost account-to-account transfers, bypassing traditional card networks and some intermediary digital wallets. As these systems (e.g., FedNow in the US, SEPA Instant in Europe, Pix in Brazil) gain global traction, they offer a potentially superior "rail" for financial transactions, akin to Netflix disrupting Blockbuster's traditional content delivery. Paysafe, which relies heavily on traditional payment processing and its digital wallets (Skrill, Neteller) as intermediaries, could face significant disintermediation. Merchants and consumers, especially in high-volume sectors like iGaming, may increasingly opt for direct, instant bank transfers if they become cheaper and more frictionless, reducing the demand for Paysafe's existing service offerings.
• Expansion of Integrated "Super Apps" and Embedded Finance Ecosystems by Major Tech and Financial Companies: Large technology companies (e.g., Block, PayPal, Amazon) and established financial institutions are increasingly building comprehensive "super apps" and deeply embedding financial services directly into their platforms. These ecosystems aim to offer an integrated suite of services, including payments, banking, and lending, similar to how Apple's iPhone integrated multiple functions, threatening specialized devices like BlackBerry. Paysafe, primarily a specialized payment provider and digital wallet operator, faces a threat from these dominant players who can offer a more unified, convenient, and often lower-cost experience to both merchants and consumers. This trend could erode Paysafe's market share as businesses and users are drawn to these broader, more integrated platforms that control the entire customer journey.

Paysafe (PSFE) operates in several key markets with substantial addressable opportunities through its main products and services:

• Payment Processing: Paysafe offers online payment gateways, in-store point-of-sale (POS) systems, card readers, and mobile payment applications, supporting credit and debit card transactions. The global payment processing solutions market was estimated at USD 103.2 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach USD 160.0 billion by 2028, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.2% from 2023 to 2028. North America constituted the largest share of this market in 2023. Paysafe maintains a global presence, connecting businesses and consumers across 120 different markets and supporting over 260 payment types in 48 currencies.
• Digital Wallets: Paysafe provides digital wallet services through its subsidiaries, including Skrill and Neteller. The total value of digital wallet transactions globally is projected to increase from $9 trillion in 2023 to $16 trillion in 2028, representing a 77% rise. In the UK, digital wallet adoption for online commerce is expected to grow from 38% in 2023 to 50% in 2027. For in-store purchases in the UK, digital wallets are predicted to account for 29% of transactions by 2027, up from 14% in 2023.
• Online Cash Solutions (eCash): Paysafe offers eCash solutions like paysafecard and Paysafecash, enabling consumers to make online payments using cash without a bank account or credit card. This service addresses a significant market of unbanked and underbanked individuals. In the U.S., 34% of Americans are unbanked or underbanked and rely on cash for payments. Similarly, in the UK, 5 million people are dependent on cash. Paysafe's eCash solutions are available at over 600,000 retail locations across the United States, giving merchants access to this cash-dependent customer base.

Paysafe (PSFE) is expected to drive future revenue growth over the next 2-3 years through several key initiatives and market trends:

1. Organic Growth in E-commerce and Digital Wallets: Paysafe has consistently reported organic revenue growth, with e-commerce being a significant contributor. The company is seeing continued strong performance from existing customers and an increase in growth contribution from new customer wins within its e-commerce verticals, including iGaming. Digital Wallets also continue to expand, supported by product innovations and new market entries.
2. Geographic Expansion and Strategic Partnerships: Paysafe is focusing on geographic expansion, notably in Latin America, with examples such as the launch of the PagoEfectivo wallet in Peru, designed for cash-based consumers transitioning to digital payments. The company is also pursuing strategic partnerships to enhance its product offerings in payment facilitation and SMB segments.
3. New Product Launches and Innovation: Paysafe is continuously developing and launching new products, including new wallets and e-commerce payment solutions. These new products are anticipated to generate at least 10% of annual revenue from products released within three years.
4. Expansion of Sales Capabilities and New Customer Acquisitions: The company has been expanding its sales capabilities, including adding new sales representatives. This expansion has led to a significant increase in contract value per active sales representative and over 100 new enterprise-level contracts across various core verticals. Paysafe expects growth from new client wins to contribute to overall growth.
