IP Payments was founded in 2004[3] by Jamie Collins, Mark Lewis and Anthony Fulton. The company provides customised accounts receivable, payments and PCI DSS compliance solutions. The company services over 3500 enterprises including global organisations.[4]

In August 2015, IP Payments was acquired by Swedish payments group Bambora,[5] which had been founded by Johan Tjärnberg the previous year.[6] Two years later, Bambora was acquired by Ingenico Group of France,[7] which subsequently merged with Worldline in late 2020.[8]
