Global Payments announced a partnership with Uber Eats that will embed the delivery platform directly into its Genius point‑of‑sale system, making Uber Eats the preferred delivery partner for merchants using Genius. The integration allows restaurants to onboard Uber Eats through a self‑serve process within Genius, and orders, updates, and cancellations sync instantly between the two systems, improving operational efficiency for merchants across the U.S. and Canada.
The move is part of Global Payments’ broader strategy to deepen its merchant relationships and capture growth in the online‑delivery market. By enabling Uber Eats orders to flow through Genius, the company expects to increase transaction volume processed through its platform and to offer a more comprehensive suite of services that can attract new merchants and retain existing ones. The partnership also positions Global Payments ahead of competitors that rely on third‑party integrations rather than native solutions.
Global Payments’ recent financial performance provides context for the partnership. In Q3 2025, the company reported adjusted earnings per share of $3.26, beating consensus estimates by $0.03, while revenue of $2.01 billion fell short of the $2.41 billion forecast by $400 million. The earnings beat was largely driven by cost controls and operational leverage in the Genius platform, which has seen a significant increase in monthly sales since its launch. The revenue miss reflected broader market softness and competitive pressure in the merchant‑solutions space, but the company’s focus on high‑margin services and strategic partnerships like Uber Eats signals confidence in long‑term growth.
Management emphasized the strategic importance of the partnership. CEO Cameron Bready highlighted that the Genius platform is a key driver of growth, noting that “monthly sales increased significantly” since its launch. Chris Siefkin, president of Genius Restaurant, said the partnership “allows restaurants to operate with ease while enabling access to Uber Eats’ outstanding delivery and technology network to help restaurants reach and retain more customers.” Jose Garcia Pimentel, vice president and head of Uber Delivery for the U.S. and Canada, added that the integration “aims to help make launching and accessing the benefits of Uber Eats faster and easier than ever.”
Analysts have noted that Global Payments’ strategic initiatives, including the Genius platform and the pending Worldpay acquisition, are viewed positively. The company’s EPS beat in Q3 2025 and its focus on cost discipline have been cited as key drivers of investor confidence, while the revenue miss has tempered enthusiasm. The Uber Eats partnership is seen as a tailwind that strengthens Global Payments’ competitive positioning against other merchant‑solutions providers.
The partnership, combined with the ongoing Worldpay acquisition and divestitures of non‑core assets, positions Global Payments to scale its merchant‑solutions business and capture a larger share of the growing online‑delivery market. The integration is expected to accelerate transaction volume growth, deepen merchant relationships, and reinforce the company’s strategy to deliver a unified, technology‑driven payment experience.
