DUBLIN (27 April 2023) – Global payments provider Elavon has won Merchant Acquirer of the Year at Europe’s leading payments acceptance event Merchant Payment Ecosystem (MPE).

More than 20 judges from six countries reviewed the entries and Elavon's win is a testament to its continued dedication to providing secure, reliable payment solutions that help businesses grow.
Marc Bongers, Chief Commercial Officer at Webshield, the sponsor of the Merchants Acquirer of the Year award, commented “As a service provider for acquiring banks, we work with a multitude of exceptional companies around the globe and therefore possess a keen understanding of what it takes to be a great acquirer.
