The independent Worldpay alternative
Swap legacy contracts and bundled rates for an independent European PCI DSS Level 1 vault. PCI Proxy gives you portable tokens, 100% EU data residency, transparent interchange++ pricing and a modern API — acquiring optional.
Why European teams choose PCI Proxy over Worldpay
An independent, modern vault — with European custody, pricing you can read, and full routing freedom instead of legacy lock-in.
Processor-independent
Your vault isn't owned by a processor. Route the same tokens to any gateway and switch processors without re-vaulting.
EU data residency
Card data is stored only in European data centres. No transatlantic transfers and simpler GDPR for EU merchants.
Transparent pricing
Interchange++ from 0.45%, published and itemised — instead of bundled legacy rates you can't unpick.
Modern API
A clean, developer-friendly API and ready-made collection channels — not a legacy integration to wrestle with.
No lock-in
Tokens work with Stripe, Adyen, Nexi or our RoxPay engine — and we migrate you out as easily as in.
Every channel
Hosted fields, mobile SDKs, MOTO/phone, email links and API — collect cards securely across web, phone and back office.

Worldpay alternative, answered
01 What is the best European alternative to Worldpay?
PCI Proxy is an independent European PCI DSS Level 1 vault. Your tokens are portable across any processor, card data stays in EU data centres, and pricing is transparent interchange++ from 0.45% — with a modern API and an optional acquiring engine, instead of legacy contracts and bundled rates.
02 How is PCI Proxy different from Worldpay?
Worldpay is a large legacy processor whose vault is tied to its own processing. PCI Proxy is an independent vault: it works with any processor, stores card data only in the EU, offers transparent pricing and a developer-friendly API — so you keep routing freedom and avoid processor lock-in.
03 Can I migrate my tokens from Worldpay to PCI Proxy?
Yes. We run secure vault-to-vault migrations from any PCI-compliant provider, so you move existing cards without re-collecting them from customers and without downtime.
04 Does PCI Proxy reduce PCI scope like Worldpay?
Yes. Because raw card data never touches your servers, most merchants drop from SAQ D to SAQ A — the same scope reduction, with EU data residency, transparent pricing and no processor lock-in.
