Important news about your card processing service
Posted on
Last year, ActSmart reported that HSBC Merchant Services would be changing their name to Global Payments at the start of 2013.
What's Changing?
On February 4th, our trading name is changing from HSBC Merchant Services to Global Payments and at the same time our legal name will change to GPUK LLP. This completes the journey that began in 2008 when HSBC Bank plc and Global Payments Inc. first set up what has been an incredibly successful enterprise. We subsequently became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Global Payments Inc. in 2009.
Although our name will be different, there will be no change to our people or our processes.
We will also remain HSBC Bank plc's preferred strategic partner for card processing in the UK.
How Will This Affect You?
Whilst there won't be any changes in our day-to-day relationship or telephone numbers you may use, there are some changes that we need you to make to assist with our name change.
All existing customers will soon receive a letter directly from Global Payments outlining the changes and what actions you will need to take.
