What’s Happening:

Bragar Eagel & Squire, P.C., a nationally recognized stockholder rights law firm, announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Paysafe Limited (“Paysafe” or the “Company”) (NYSE:PSFE) in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of all persons and entities who purchased or otherwise acquired Paysafe securities between March 4, 2025 and November 12, 2025, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”).Investors have until April 7, 2026, to apply to the Court to be appointed as lead plaintiff in the lawsuit. Allegation Details:

The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors: (1) Paysafe’s ecommerce business had significant exposure to a single high risk client; (2) as a result, the Company’s credit loss reserves and/or write-offs were understated; (3) Paysafe had an undisclosed issue with higher risk Merchant Category Codes, making its client services difficult to bank; (4) the foregoing issues were likely to have a material negative impact on the Company’s revenue growth and overall revenue mix; (5) as a result, Paysafe was unlikely to meet its own previously issued financial guidance for fiscal year 2025; and (6) that, as a result of the foregoing, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis. On November 13, 2025, Paysafe released its third quarter 2025 financial results, missing revenue and EPS estimates, explaining that the Company “had a last-minute client that had to shut down that caused a several-million-dollar write-down.” On this news, Paysafe’s stock price fell $2.80, or 27.6%, to close at $7.36 per share on November 13, 2025, thereby injuring investors.

New MoonPay-powered product enables players to seamlessly deposit in stablecoins and cryptocurrencies at iGaming and daily fantasy sports brands

LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Paysafe (NYSE: PSFE), a global payments platform, today announced the launch of Pay with Crypto, a new crypto payment method for iGaming operators and daily fantasy sports brands in the U.S. market. Powered by MoonPay, the leader in global crypto payments and stablecoin infrastructure, Pay with Crypto allows iGaming brands’ customers to use their preferred stablecoin or cryptocurrency to effortlessly fund their player accounts, where permitted.

With a reported ~70.4m American adults owning cryptocurrency and with Paysafe’s own research indicating that 83% of U.S. players have appetite for crypto payments, the company has responded to meet this demand with Pay with Crypto. Whether a player wants to fund their iGaming account using USD Coin (USDC), another stablecoin, or any major cryptocurrency, Paysafe’s new payment option for operators’ cashiers enables their crypto deposit to be rapidly converted to U.S. dollars to allow play.

After selecting Pay with Crypto and their preferred stablecoin or cryptocurrency, players simply connect their crypto or custodial wallet to fund the deposit, with the MoonPay Commerce Checkouts technology also supporting transactions via QR code using users’ phones. Once transactions have been verified, Pay with Crypto instantly converts crypto deposits into U.S. dollars to fund the player account.

The flexibility embedded in the Pay with Crypto solution also extends to operators, which can choose to settle payments almost instantly in stablecoins in their business’s crypto wallet, or settle in U.S. dollars or any major fiat currency through MoonPay’s Virtual Accounts powered by Iron.

Operators can upgrade their cashiers with Pay with Crypto through a single, streamlined integration of the Paysafe Gateway, which has been developed specifically for iGaming and leverages the company’s 30 years’ global experience. With the Gateway already boasting frictionless card payments, the Skrill digital wallet, the PaysafeCash eCash solution, a Pay by Bank product, and 30+ local payment methods, the addition of Pay with Crypto sees Paysafe continue to diversify its offering to meet evolving transactional preferences.

Zak Cutler, President of Global Gaming at Paysafe, said: “Galvanized by the growing popularity of stablecoins, cryptocurrency is evolving in the U.S. from an investment asset into a unit of value for payments, and we’re seeing this shift gather pace in the country’s iGaming market. Against this backdrop, we’re delighted to unveil Pay with Crypto, a forward-thinking solution that strongly positions U.S. operators for their customers’ changing transactional preferences – the future of how they pay when they play.”

Ivan Soto-Wright, Founder and CEO of MoonPay, commented: “Crypto rails are making payments faster and more efficient, and our job is to close the gap between this technology and real-world utility. People shouldn't have to convert their digital assets just to make a purchase – they want to use what they already have. Paysafe brings that experience to more people through trusted, regulated platforms.”

Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP Securities Litigation Partner James (Josh) Wilson Encourages Investors Who Suffered Losses In Paysafe To Contact Him Directly To Discuss Their Options

If you purchased or acquired securities in Paysafe between March 4, 2025 and November 12, 2025 and would like to discuss your legal rights, call Faruqi & Faruqi partner Josh Wilson directly at 877-247-4292 or 212-983-9330 (Ext. 1310). 

[You may also click here for additional information]

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, is investigating potential claims against Paysafe Limited (“Paysafe” or the “Company”) (NYSE: PSFE) and reminds investors of the April 7, 2026 deadline to seek the role of lead plaintiff in a federal securities class action that has been filed against the Company.

Faruqi & Faruqi is a leading national securities law firm with offices in New York, Pennsylvania, California and Georgia. The firm has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors since its founding in 1995. See www.faruqilaw.com.

As detailed below, the complaint alleges that the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by making false and/or misleading statements and/or failing to disclose that: (1) Paysafe’s ecommerce business had significant exposure to a single high risk client; (2) as a result, the Company’s credit loss reserves and/or write-offs were understated; (3) Paysafe had an undisclosed issue with higher risk Merchant Category Codes, making its client services difficult to bank; (4) the foregoing issues were likely to have a material negative impact on the Company’s revenue growth and overall revenue mix; (5) as a result, Paysafe was unlikely to meet its own previously issued financial guidance for fiscal year 2025; and (6) that, as a result of the foregoing, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

On November 13, 2025, before the market opened, Paysafe announced third quarter financial results, including revenue of $433.8 million, which missed consensus estimates by $5.8 million, and a net loss of $87.7 million, a steep drop from the prior year period wherein the Company’s net loss was only $12.98 million. The Company also slashed full year 2025 expected revenue to $17 million at the midpoint, and adjusted EPS $0.50 at the midpoint.

The Company further revealed that its credit loss expense for the quarter was $13,220 “primarily [as] the result of a specific provision for expected chargebacks related to an individual merchant in the Merchant Solutions segment.” The report revealed write-offs of $9,924 “driven by the write off of irrecoverable amounts receivable in the Merchant Solutions segment.”

On the same date, the Company held an earnings call during which CEO Bruce Lowthers revealed the Company “had a last-minute client that had to shut down that caused several million-dollar write-down in Q3.” Lowthers further revealed the Company is in a market tier with “higher risk MCC [Merchant Category Codes] codes.” Lowthers explained “those things sometimes are a little difficult to bank” and “sometimes the banks aren’t open to the additional risk” “so, we’ve had a little bit of challenge with that with some of those MCC codes.”

On this news, Paysafe’s stock price fell $2.80, or 27.6%, to close at $7.36 per share on November 13, 2025, on unusually heavy trading volume.

The court-appointed lead plaintiff is the investor with the largest financial interest in the relief sought by the class who is adequate and typical of class members who directs and oversees the litigation on behalf of the putative class. Any member of the putative class may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member. Your ability to share in any recovery is not affected by the decision to serve as a lead plaintiff or not. 

Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP also encourages anyone with information regarding Paysafe’s conduct to contact the firm, including whistleblowers, former employees, shareholders and others.

Global payments platform Paysafe has expanded the availability of its digital wallet and now offers it across 18 European countries.

The PaysafeWallet is designed to support everyday financial management, enabling customers to send, receive, spend and withdraw money, the company said in a Wednesday (April 22) press release emailed to PYMNTS.

It is supported by a dedicated IBAN-enabled personal payment account and debit card, according to the release.

“PaysafeWallet is a core consumer product and a brand that carries the Paysafe name and represents where we are headed,” Paysafe Chief Product Officer Bob Legters said in the release. “It connects cash-based consumers to a modern digital wallet experience, combining everyday usability with the financial services they need to participate fully in the experience economy.”

Paysafe initially launched this digital wallet in select European markets, and then expanded it, according to the release. Now, in 18 European countries, PaysafeWallet is live across the PaysafeCard app, website and customer-facing marketing.

Today, the digital wallet is live in Germany, France, Greece, Spain, Italy, Austria, the Netherlands, Slovakia, Belgium, Portugal, Ireland, Slovenia, Finland, Cypress, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg and Malta, per the release.

Paysafe reported in March that its active digital wallet users increased 6% year over year to reach 7.8 million at the end of the fourth quarter. The company’s digital wallet revenue increased 13% year over year to $220.2 million, or 6% on an organic basis.

Legters told PYMNTS in an interview posted in February that digital wallets are becoming the organizing layer of commerce, where identity, funds, rewards and brand engagement converge.

While wallets are already embedded in the daily habits of billions of users, many consumers don’t realize they’re using wallets at all, Legters said.

“I’ve talked to multiple consumers where they’ve said, ‘Yeah, no, I don’t use wallets,’” Legters said, adding that a few questions later, it becomes clear they keep funds inside apps, store balances for future purchases or manage segmented spending through digital platforms.

Paysafe CEO Bruce Lowthers wrote in the PYMNTS eBook “2025’s Over/Under: The Bets That Paid Off” that global digital wallet transaction value leapt from $3.9 trillion in 2020 to $10 trillion in 2024.

Highlights

Paysafe’s eCommerce revenue rose 17%, led by 28% growth in iGaming revenue in the latest quarter.

Digital wallet revenue increased 15% as three-month active users climbed 9% to 7.9 million.

Paysafe said it is building payment infrastructure for agentic commerce across AI platforms including ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini.

As digital wallets, eCommerce and AI-powered payments continue reshaping online commerce, Paysafe used its latest quarter to position itself at the intersection of those trends while also navigating some of the pressures that can come with scaling a global payments platform.

The company reported first-quarter revenue of $442.7 million, up 10% year over year.

Wallets, eCommerce and Agentic Commerce Paysafe CEO Bruce Lowthers said on the Wednesday (May 13) conference call that the quarter reflected continued momentum across sports betting, digital wallets and Latin American markets, alongside investments designed to support AI-enabled commerce.

Lowthers also pointed to accelerating adoption of Paysafe’s wallet products across Europe and Latin America. Active users reached 7.9 million in the quarter, up 9% year over year.

The company’s digital wallets segment generated $216.3 million in revenue, up 15%, while wallet volume increased 19% to $7.1 billion. Within merchant solutions, eCommerce revenue increased 17%, led by 28% growth in iGaming. Paysafe also highlighted strong activity tied to the NFL playoffs, Super Bowl and March Madness.

Lowthers said the company is increasingly focusing on how payments infrastructure can support agentic commerce models where artificial intelligence assistants initiate transactions on behalf of consumers. He told analysts, “With one integration, Paysafe can enable merchants to offer AI powered commerce across ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini along with their own portal and apps.”

According to Lowthers, the company sees agentic commerce as “a meaningful evolution in how transactions originate.”

The company also continued leaning into automation internally. Paysafe management noted on the conference call Wednesday that nearly 60% of consumer support interactions were resolved through digital assistance channels during the quarter, up 25% from a year ago.

Latin America and Wallet Adoption Gain Momentum Latin America remained one of the company’s strongest growth engines.

Paysafe said its local payments network and wallet offerings continue gaining traction across the region as consumers shift from cash toward digital payment methods. The company reported that Latin America active users reached 3.3 million during the quarter, the highest level to date.

The company’s PagoEfectivo Wallet product was also highlighted as a contributor to user growth and engagement. Paysafe said its Latin America network now spans roughly 400,000 collection points and covers about 90% of local payment method coverage across key markets.

Lowthers said the company’s wallet expansion in Europe is also gaining ground.

“We are much more aggressive about consumer acquisition today than we ever have been,” Lowthers said during the Q&A session.

He also said PaysafeWallet recorded its strongest month on record in March.

Credit Losses Pressure Margins Even as revenue trends strengthened, the company acknowledged pressure described as being temporary in nature.

Lowthers said Paysafe experienced “increase in credit losses while converting to a new risk management platform.”

He added that the losses “were contained over the course of a few weeks beginning in March and shouldn’t have an impact on the business going forward as our models continue to mature.”

Those higher losses weighed on profitability in the merchant solutions segment. Adjusted EBITDA for merchant solutions declined to $28.1 million from $29.4 million a year earlier, while adjusted EBITDA margin fell to 12.2% from 13.5%.

CFO Highlights Investments and Outlook Chief Financial Officer John Crawford said the company’s results also reflected elevated investments in marketing and technology infrastructure.

The company ended the quarter with a leverage ratio of 5.2x, down from 5.5x at the end of 2025.

Looking ahead, Paysafe reaffirmed its full-year guidance. The company continues to expect revenue growth and adjusted EBITDA growth in the range of 5% to 8%.

Shares soared 14% in early trading on Wednesday.

PaySafe Stock is an iGaming Growth Play After the SPAC Sell-Off Paysafe NYSE: PSFE reported a stronger start to 2026, with first-quarter revenue rising 10% and adjusted earnings per share increasing 21%, while management reaffirmed its full-year outlook and emphasized debt reduction as a key priority.

On the company’s first-quarter earnings call, Chief Executive Officer Bruce Lowthers said Paysafe delivered “strong revenue growth of 10%, adjusted EBITDA growth of 4%, and 21% growth in adjusted EPS.” The payments company generated $67 million in unlevered free cash flow during the quarter, up 17% from the prior year, and reduced its net leverage ratio to 5.2x.

Get Paysafe alerts:

Lowthers said the quarter benefited from sports betting activity during the NFL playoffs, outperformance in the consumer business, favorable foreign exchange and another licensing agreement to monetize company data. Active consumer users reached 7.9 million, up 9% year over year.

Revenue Growth Led by Digital Wallets, iGaming and Latin America Chief Financial Officer John Crawford said first-quarter revenue was $442.7 million, up 10% on a reported basis. Organic growth was 8%, or approximately 6% after normalizing for a $7 million contribution from a licensing data deal. Across Paysafe’s top 20 countries, revenue grew 13% in the quarter.

Adjusted EBITDA rose 4% to $99.2 million, while adjusted EBITDA margin declined 130 basis points. Crawford attributed the margin pressure to a $6 million increase in marketing and IT investment and a $10 million increase in credit loss expense, partly offset by the benefit of the data deal.

In digital wallets, volume rose 19% to $7.1 billion, or 9% on a constant-currency basis. Revenue in the segment increased 15% to $216.3 million, with organic growth of 7%. Three-month active users grew 9%, led by Latin America. Adjusted EBITDA for digital wallets rose 15% to $94.9 million, and the segment’s adjusted EBITDA margin was 43.9%, down 10 basis points despite higher consumer marketing spending.

Lowthers highlighted Latin America as a major growth driver, saying Paysafe’s local and alternative payment offerings are benefiting as the region shifts from a cash-oriented culture toward digital wallets and account-to-account payments. Active users in Latin America reached 3.3 million in the first quarter, the company’s highest level to date in the region.

Lowthers said Paysafe expects “strong double-digit growth throughout 2026” in Latin America as it continues to build momentum with product innovation and go-to-market efforts.

Merchant Segment Shows Growth, But Mix Weighs on Margins In merchant solutions, volume increased 9% to $37.2 billion. Organic revenue growth was 9%, or about 5% excluding the data deal. Crawford said the segment’s underlying gross margin declined because of business mix, reflecting stronger growth from the lower-margin ISO channel.

Adjusted EBITDA in the merchant segment was $28.1 million, down from $29.4 million in the prior-year period. During the question-and-answer portion of the call, Crawford said merchant margins are expected to improve gradually later in the year, with the second quarter likely to look similar to the first quarter.

“We expect to be in the upper mid-teens, potentially higher than that, by the end of the year,” Crawford said, adding that better performance in the direct channel during the second half should support margin improvement.

The company said e-commerce revenue grew 17% in the quarter, led by iGaming growth of 28%. The small and medium-sized business segment grew 2%, reflecting modest improvement in attrition. Lowthers said attrition was better than expected, though the company has not yet modeled that improvement for the full year.

iGaming, Crypto Pilots and AI Commerce Highlight Strategic Focus Lowthers said global iGaming revenue grew 20% year over year, with strength across both company segments and core regions. He cited robust activity during the NFL playoffs, Super Bowl and March Madness.

Paysafe also announced a partnership with MoonPay to allow players to deposit stablecoins and cryptocurrencies with iGaming and daily fantasy sports brands in the U.S. Lowthers said five operator pilots are underway, and described crypto payment capability as another local payment method that responds to consumer demand.

“For us, we look at it as really just another LPM that we’re providing, that consumers want,” Lowthers said.

The company also discussed its efforts in AI-enabled commerce. Lowthers said Paysafe partnered with Norwegian Air to demonstrate end-to-end “agentic payment” capabilities aligned with emerging protocols from Visa and Mastercard. He said one Paysafe integration can enable merchants to offer AI-powered commerce across ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini, as well as their own portals and apps.

Lowthers also pointed to AI as a factor in Paysafe’s marketing transformation, including automated segmentation, smarter targeting and more personalized customer experiences. In Europe, he said campaigns in Spain and France have helped drive momentum for PaysafeWallet, which recorded its strongest month to date in March.

Debt Reduction Remains a Priority Paysafe ended the quarter with total debt just under $2.5 billion, down $122 million from the fourth quarter after repaying more than $100 million and receiving a modest benefit from foreign exchange. Net leverage declined to 5.2x from 5.5x at the end of the prior quarter.

Crawford said Paysafe repurchased 588,000 shares in January, related to a December order, but noted that deleveraging is the company’s priority this year.

“While we continue to think our shares are undervalued, reducing leverage is our priority this year, supported by our expected growth in adjusted EBITDA and strong cash flow generation,” Crawford said.

Lowthers said net leverage should be a key indicator for shareholders over the next 24 months because of its potential impact on valuation.

Full-Year Guidance Reaffirmed Paysafe reaffirmed its 2026 outlook for revenue growth, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted earnings per share. Crawford said the company continues to expect revenue and adjusted EBITDA to grow in the range of 5% to 8% for the full year, while adjusted EPS is expected to grow by double digits.

For the second quarter, the company expects revenue growth to be moderately below the full-year guidance range, at approximately 4%, reflecting the first quarter’s licensing deal, foreign exchange tailwind and seasonally high sports betting volumes. Crawford said first-half revenue growth is expected to be about 7%.

Management also expects operating expenses to be weighted toward the first half of the year, including a $14 million year-over-year increase related to marketing and IT investments. Following the first-quarter credit loss increase, Paysafe expects first-half adjusted EBITDA to be roughly flat year over year, with stronger performance anticipated in the second half.

Lowthers closed the call by saying the company’s priorities for 2026 are execution, product momentum and debt reduction. He also noted recent board changes, including the addition of Ignacio Caride and the transition of Eli Nagler to a board observer role, leaving Paysafe with nine independent directors out of 12 total board members.

83% of U.S. bettors are keen to use cryptocurrency to fund wagers with online sportsbooks, when permitted, according to research issued today by leading payments platform Paysafe (NYSE: PSFE). The company’s All the Ways Players Pay: Crypto Editionreport also suggests that when a state permits crypto payments, sportsbooks supporting deposits by digital assets and even payouts will gain a competitive edge in player acquisition and retention.

As well as bettors in states where crypto deposits aren’t yet permitted – Florida, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, and Pennsylvania – Paysafe surveyed Illinois and Virginia, which have the regulatory latitude to give operators specific permission for crypto-to-cash funding products. Importantly, the study included the two states which explicitly permit crypto deposits, Colorado and Wyoming, where 59% and 45% of bettors, respectively, have already funded a bet with a digital asset.

With 64% of active U.S. bettors owning cryptocurrency, deposits using digital assets would almost certainly trend even higher in other states when permitted. In New York, 92% of players have appetite for crypto deposits, with demand in Illinois and Florida almost as high (88% in both).

When permitted, crypto would be a top-3 payment method for funding wagers, with 45% of players listing crypto as a preference after digital wallets (favored by 55%) and debit cards (50%). In New York, crypto would be second only to wallets (54% versus 59%), with a similar dynamic evident in Illinois, where 52% list crypto as a preference compared to 58% digital wallets.

Despite crypto’s potential to rival wallets and bank cards, other payment methods would remain relevant. Even if digital assets were permitted, credit cards (a preference for 37%) and pay-by-bank solutions and bank transfers (also 37%) would still be relatively popular. And even niche payment options would not be completely overshadowed if crypto were thrown into the transactional mix, with almost a quarter of bettors (23%) still listing local payment methods like peer-to-peer apps and 14% eCash solutions like PaysafeCash.

Players also have interest in cashing-out their winnings in crypto, which is not yet permitted by any state. Well over eight out of 10 bettors (85%) are keen for crypto withdrawals.

Given bettor appetite for cashing-out and crypto funding, it’s unsurprising that digital assets would play an influential role in their selection of a new sportsbook. While brand trust dominates sportsbook choice (prioritized by 36%), crypto payment factors are almost as important, including seamless crypto withdrawals (prioritized by 29%), ability to transact with crypto or other preferred payment methods (28%), and seamless crypto deposits (26%).

Crypto payments’ value extends to player retention. Seven out of 10 players (71%) feel that transacting using digital assets would improve their overall betting experience, with just 18% disagreeing and the remaining 11% unsure.

While crypto will invariably enhance customer stickiness, operators need to carefully evaluate crypto payment products as a poor transactional experience will risk churn, with 71% likely to abandon a sportsbook as a result. Players in some states are even less forgiving, especially New York (80% would switch brands), but also Florida and Illinois (75% in both).

Zak Cutler, President of Global Gaming at Paysafe, commented: “While crypto payments are only currently permitted in a relatively modest cohort of U.S. states, our latest research indicates that there’s strong player appetite for crypto at the cashier in not just these jurisdictions but across the broader market. As regulation evolves and as more iGaming markets embrace digital assets’ impressive value at the cashier, we’re confident that crypto will not just become an important payment method, but arguably pivotal to the industry’s transactional future.”
