Westpay Launches Next-Gen Payment Infrastructure — Designed for a More Secure and Resilient Future
Westpay AB ("Westpay"), a leading Payment Service Provider, today announces the successful deployment of its next-generation transaction infrastructure—marking a key milestone in our strategy to lead the Nordic payments space through secure, scalable and future-ready technology.
The new system delivers a 300% increase in transaction speed, reinforced database architecture, and seamless failover capacity—all operated within two fully redundant, state-of-the-art data centers located in Sweden. This major transformation ensures continued uptime, performance, and peace of mind for merchants across the Nordics.
" We’ve re-architected our entire processing environment from the ground up. From offline resilience to geopolitical risk mitigation, this is about more than just speed—it’s about setting the new standard in payment infrastructure," said Tomas Nilsson, CTO of Westpay.
Key highlights of the new infrastructure:
- Top-tier security: Westpay is now fully certified according to PCI DSS v4.0.1, the highest global standard for card payment security.
- Localized processing: By hosting critical systems on Swedish soil, we ensure maximum compliance and minimize reliance on non-EU infrastructure.
- Redundancy at all levels: Dual data centers, enhanced databases, and robust fallback mechanisms protect operations—24/7.
- Offline readiness: Even if external networks or banks fail, transactions can still be processed securely.
These enhancements reflect our broader SaaS transformation, supporting the scalability of our recurring revenue model while deepening our long-term value to partners.
Westpay’s ecosystem is built for the realities of today—and the uncertainties of tomorrow. When merchants choose Westpay, they choose independence, resilience, and readiness.
Secure. Swedish. Ready.
