Worldpay collaborates with Early Warning for Paze checkout
Payments entity Worldpay has teamed up with Early Warning Services to offer the Paze checkout option to its US merchant network. This alliance was announced at Worldpay's annual client and partner event, Rethink, and is designed to streamline online payments while increasing security for consumers. Paze is an online checkout system created by Early Warning Services, which is available through several banks and credit unions in the US. The system allows consumers to pay with their preferred credit and debit cards, with enhanced security provided by tokenisation and digital authentication. Cardholders are not required to register or download any additional applications to use Paze where it is accepted. By using network tokenisation, Paze ensures that consumer payment details are better protected compared to traditional manual entry to result in higher authorisation rates for merchants. Worldpay's US merchants utilising hosted payment pages will soon have Paze available as a checkout option. Worldpay chief product officer Cindy Turner said: 'At Worldpay, we're committed to giving merchants more choice and flexibility in how they serve today's digital-first consumers. By making new checkout options like Paze available to our merchants, we're making it easy for them to offer convenient checkout that boost conversion and customer confidence because they don't have to share card details directly.' Early Warning Services chief partnerships officer Eric Hoffman stated: 'Paze was created to meet the rising demand for a fast and convenient digital checkout. Through this collaboration with Worldpay, we're making Paze instantly accessible to thousands of U.S. merchants, supporting our goal of nationwide coverage. 'This will bring added convenience and added security through tokenisation to the 150 million consumers that already have access to Paze through their bank or credit union they already know and use.' Last month, Worldpay partnered with BVNK, a South African stablecoin payments firm, to offer stablecoin payout capabilities to its global clientele.

Worldpay Enables Paze, Brings New Levels of Convenience and Speed to Online Checkout
CINCINNATI--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Worldpay ® and Early Warning Services have announced a new partnership at Worldpay's annual client and partner event, Rethink, to enable Paze℠ as a checkout option available to its merchants. Paze is an online checkout solution developed by Early Warning Services that is offered by leading banks and credit unions in the U.S. The convenient Paze checkout experience enables consumers to pay online with their preferred credit and debit cards via added security through tokenization, and seamless digital authentication. 'At Worldpay, we're committed to giving merchants more choice and flexibility in how they serve today's digital-first consumers,' said Cindy Turner, chief product officer at Worldpay. 'By making new checkout options like Paze available to our merchants, we're making it easy for them to offer convenient checkout that boost conversion and customer confidence because they don't have to share card details directly.' Leading banks and credit unions enable Paze for their eligible cardholders, and cardholders do not need to sign up or download an additional app to use the checkout option where available. Recent research from Worldpay found that 68% of consumers selected a checkout method based on convenience and 48% abandoned a cart due to too many steps to complete checkout. 'Paze was created to meet the rising demand for a fast and convenient digital checkout,' said Eric Hoffman, chief partnerships officer, at Early Warning Services. 'Through this collaboration with Worldpay, we're making Paze instantly accessible to thousands of U.S. merchants, supporting our goal of nationwide coverage. This will bring added convenience and added security through tokenization to the 150 million consumers that already have access to Paze through their bank or credit union they already know and use.' Working together, Worldpay and Early Warning Services are bringing new levels of convenience and security to online checkout. Because purchases made using Paze utilize the network tokenization framework, the consumer's credentials are more secure than traditional manual entry and merchants can experience higher authorization rates. Seamless checkout can increase conversion rates by reducing the steps and friction to complete a purchase. Worldpay's vast merchant network in the U.S. using hosted payment pages will soon see Paze as a checkout option, and others will be able to 'turn on' Paze as a checkout option with limited integration needed.

OneR and OneOncology Partner Practice Physicians to Present 23 Abstracts at ASCO 2025 Featuring Emerging Therapies and Real-World Evidence from Independent Oncology Practice
Two OneR Studies Selected as Best of ASCO, Including New Treatment Results for Follicular Lymphoma and Long-Term Outcomes for a Targeted Therapy in Leukemia NASHVILLE, Tenn., May 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Physicians affiliated with OneOncology partner practices, and the OneOncology Research Network (OneR), will present 23 research abstracts at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting 2025, May 30-June 3. These presentations reflect the deep commitment of the OneOncology partner practices' physicians who serve as OneR investigators to advancing cancer care across independent community practices nationwide. The selected studies represent important progress in treating a wide range of cancers, including lymphoma, lung cancer, head and neck cancer, bladder cancer, and rare tumor syndromes. The research covers both cutting-edge treatments and efforts to make trials more inclusive and accessible for all patients. Together, these studies showcase how research from community settings is helping shape the future of cancer care everywhere. Two OneR abstracts were selected as "Best of ASCO" — a major honor that recognizes the most impactful and practice-changing studies. These abstracts include early results from a study of mosunetuzumab, a new injectable treatment for patients with high-risk follicular lymphoma; and five-year results from a study of zanubrutinib, a targeted treatment for chronic lymphocytic leukemia in patients with 17 p deletions, a high-risk genetic change. These studies show promising results in helping patients live longer and with fewer side effects. "Our growing research footprint at ASCO reflects the strength of science throughout independent community-based practices," said Ian Flinn, MD, PhD, Chief Scientific Officer at OneOncology, who is the lead author of one of the Best of ASCO abstracts. "These studies don't just represent important new data — they represent real hope for patients and improved access to cutting-edge clinical trials close to where patients and families live." OneR is a national site management organization that brings operational expertise and centralized services to efficiently deliver multi-center clinical research across our growing network of community oncology practices. By connecting leading investigators, clinical trials, and real-world data across OneOncology partner practices, OneR ensures that patients everywhere—not just at academic centers—can benefit from the latest advances in cancer care.

Olympian, former Ohio State wrestler Kyle Snyder due in court today on prostitution charge
A former Ohio State University and Olympic wrestler is scheduled to appear in a Franklin County courtroom. Kyle Snyder, 29, is scheduled for a May 19 arraignment in Franklin County Municipal Court. Snyder's attorney, Eric Hoffman, confirmed Snyder plans to plead guilty to a lesser charge of disorderly conduct during the appearance. Snyder was initially charged with engaging in prostitution, a first-degree misdemeanor. The U.S. Center for SafeSport suspended Snyder as a result of his May 9 arrest during a Columbus police prostitution sting. Snyder is currently living in Pennsylvania, according to court records. On May 14, he released a statement on social media, addressing his arrest. "I want to thank everyone who has reached out with kindness and support," Snyder wrote. "My focus is on my relationship with the Lord Jesus and my family. This is not (the) conclusion of my journey. 1 Peter 4:17-18." Snyder was arrested on May 9 at a hotel on the far North Side of Columbus. According to court records, Snyder responded to an online advertisement and went to the hotel to meet an escort. Snyder agreed to pay the woman, who was an undercover police officer, $160 to perform a sex act. Body camera video released by Columbus police shows officers entering the hotel room while the undercover officer was in a bathroom and arresting Snyder, who had removed his pants and was sitting on the bed. Snyder was initially charged with one count of engaging in prostitution, which is a first-degree misdemeanor. The maximum possible sentence is 180 days in jail and a $1,000 fine. For first-time offenders, which Snyder is believed to be, typical sentences have included required attendance at a "John School." The program is focused on providing education about the risks and harms of prostitution and human trafficking. Engaging in prostitution became law in Ohio in 2021. The disorderly conduct charge carries a maximum sentence of 30 days in jail, a $250 fine and 200 hours of community service. Snyder is expected to enter a guilty plea to a lesser charge of disorderly conduct, a fourth-degree misdemeanor, according to his attorney, Eric Hoffman. Franklin County Municipal Court Judge Cynthia Ebner could sentence Snyder after the plea is entered or set a sentencing date in the future. The disorderly conduct charge has a maximum sentence of 30 days in jail, $250 fine and 200 hours of community service. Snyder won three consecutive NCAA heavyweight championships in 2016, 2017 and 2018. He won the gold medal at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Summer Olympics, becoming the youngest wrestler to win an NCAA, world and Olympic title in the same year. Snyder competed in the 2021 Olympics in Tokyo, where he won the silver medal, and in the 2024 Paris Olympics, where he placed fourth. Ohio State University inducted him into the Athletic Hall of Fame in 2024. Prior to being suspended by the U.S. Center for SafeSport, Snyder won the U.S. Open on April 26. That win in the 97-kilogram division qualified for Final X in the 2025 U.S. World Team qualification, which is scheduled to take place in June. It is unclear if Snyder will be reinstated by that time. The day before his arrest, the Real American Freestyle wrestling league announced Snyder had been signed to the league. Hulk Hogan serves as commissioner for the league, which is scheduled to have its first event in August. Snyder is well known in the wrestling community and has held camps for young wrestlers in Pennsylvania, where he and his wife live.
