Launching in Germany and Greece, the full-service payment provider is now enabling merchants in these countries to accept payments from Discover®, Diners Club International® and its network alliances through a single interface. Additional European countries will follow. 

Martinsried (Munich) / 24. March, 2025

epay, the digital payments unit of Euronet (NASDAQ: EEFT), today announced a new agreement with Discover® Global Network to add the global payment network’s cards, including well-known brands such as Diners Club International® and Discover® Card, to its portfolio. This collaboration enables epay’s extensive network of retail partners to offer additional attractive payment methods to its end customers, both in-store and in e-commerce, and to attract new customer groups from 345 million¹ private and corporate cardholders in the Discover® Global Network. 

Discover Global Network includes Discover, issued in the United States, and Diners Club International, which is a globally recognized brand with issuers in more than 45 countries². According to the company’s own research, acceptance is important to users of Discover Global Network cards, with 66% of Cardholders** saying that they would visit a merchant again if the preferred payment type was accepted.³ The integration of Discover Global Network into the payment portfolio of the full-service payment provider gives merchants access to further internationally used payment methods from one single source.
