GPN

Global Payments Inc.

A payments technology company that processes card transactions and provides point-of-sale software and commerce tools for merchants, with brands including Genius and Worldpay. It grew out of National Data Corporation, founded in Atlanta in 1967 to automate credit-card authorization, and spun off as an independent firm in 2001 before merging with TSYS in 2019. That Atlanta legacy helped earn the region the nickname "Transaction Alley."
