Visa has partnered with Worldpay to enable customers to pay with just one click in the UK.

Visa said merchants already using Worldpay can turn on Click to Pay with Visa without the need for merchant integration or further development.

Click to Pay removes the need to manually entering card details, which Visa says enhances both security and the consumer shopping experience.

The technology includes security features such as tokenisation, which uses encryption to further protect a payment by making it unreadable and unusable for unauthorised transactions.

Visa claims that Click to Pay has been shown to boost authorisation rates by more than 10 per cent and reduce fraud by 80 per cent when compared to manual entry.

Recent research from Worldpay found that around 83 per cent of consumers shopping online expect to have a one-click checkout experience.

“Visa cardholders globally can now experience the convenience of our Click to Pay solution, and we’re delighted to be able to bring it to more merchants and consumers by partnering with a leader like Worldpay,” commented Mandy Lamb, managing director, UK and Ireland, at Visa.

“One-click shopping online is now the expectation for many consumers and this partnership will help even more businesses in the UK to deliver on this.”

Last week, Visa revealed that its new fraud department saved victims $350 million across dozens of scams in 2024.

The department’s scam disruption practice, which sits under Visa Payment Ecosystem Risk and Control (PERC), focuses on identifying and stopping complex scams as they emerge.

The new department, called Visa Scam Disruption (VSD), brings together a cross-disciplinary team that deploys mitigation strategies across various scams. As well as hiring engineers and AI developers, the company has focused on recruiting non-traditional career paths like former law enforcement, military professionals and data visualisation experts.
