OpenWay recognized as Best-in-Class in Datos Insights' 2025 Matrix for Merchant Acquiring Platforms
Way4 Merchant Acquiring empowers top-tier acquiring banks, processors, and ambitious fintechs in the Americas, Europe , MENA, and APAC to launch, scale, and tailor their merchant services — with fast time to market, real-time operations, high-volume performance, and the flexibility and speed of innovation. Built for global growth and local success, the platform supports a "glocal" service model that combines international best practices with local cultural and regulatory expertise in the time zone of the client.
The platform enables a complete merchant lifecycle: from digital onboarding to dynamic and risk-based pricing, omnichannel and multi-asset acceptance (POS, e-commerce, softPOS, cards, wallets, crypto, CBDCs, A2A), real-time clearing, and reporting. Way4 also offers rich APIs, tokenization, FX tools, DCC, MCP, streaming analytics, and data-driven loyalty — as well as composable architecture that allows institutions to configure ~95% of product logic via parameters, without coding.
says Paul Gubin, CEO of OpenWay.
This recognition continues OpenWay's history of industry leadership. Over the past decade, Way4 has been ranked Best-in-Class by Aite (now Datos Insights), Gartner, PayTech, Juniper Research, and Ovum for enabling first-to-market innovations in digital wallets, card management, CaaS, and cloud payment processing.
