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.

Hub aims to help rail passengers in crisis
A new safeguarding hub has opened at Wolverhampton Railway Station. "The Hub", launched by West Midlands Railway (WMR) and charity Rethink Mental Illness, aims to provide people with support and guidance. Rethink will work with local charities across the area, offering people one-to-one support, information and signposting. "This initiative is more than just a facility - it's a lifeline," said Thomas Harty, security and suicide prevention manager at WMR. He said he hoped the "safe space" would support the "hundreds of vulnerable individuals in the local area and using our network". "Wolverhampton is our busiest station in the region, with over 6.5 million passengers passing through each year, and I'm looking forward to seeing the positive impact Rethink and our other charity partners will have," he added. Other organisations involved with the hub include The Samaritans, Railway Children, White Ribbon and the Wolves Foundation. Head of area at Rethink, Lindsey Gooding, said the charity was proud to have been given the opportunity to create the hub. "With support from our partner organisations, we will provide a 'one stop shop' for people to access support around mental health and wellbeing," she said. "We want everyone to feel part of a community that cares. To be treated as a whole person. To have access to the right help when needed." The Wolverhampton safe space was inspired by a similar hub in Hull, which brought about a 63% reduction in people arriving at nearby stations in crisis, WMR said.

Campaign Big Global Awards 2025: winners revealed
UK-originated shop Uncommon Creative Studio won six prizes at the Campaign Big Global Awards today, half of which were for its work with British Airways. Rethink was the next most-awarded agency, with the Canadian outfit picking up three gongs, including two for Kraft Heinz. US agencies Courage and Mojo Supermarket | Creative X, and UK shops Mother and VCCP, all picked up a brace of wins. In their second year, Campaign's Big Global Awards drew entries and winners from four continents. These international awards celebrate creative projects from agencies big and small in the UK, Canada, the US and beyond for brands including Uber, KFC and Facebook. From the MENA region, Play Life by Droga 5 London & Accenture Song Middle East for Qiddiya took a finalist spot in the Media Channel: Film category. Chaired by Aaron Starkman, global chief creative officer of Rethink, the 33-strong judging panel comprised a diverse range of top creatives from around the world. UK judges include Andre Sallowicz, creative partner at Abbott Mead Vickers BBDO, Al Mackie, chief creative officer at Rapp, and Sue Higgs, former executive creative director at Dentsu Creative. The complete list of categories is below. Click on the links to find out the winners and finalists, and see some of the winning work. To register your interest in the 2026 awards, click here. Craft: Art Direction The winner in this Campaign Big Global Awards category is 'Windows' by Uncommon Creative Studio for British Airways. Photographed by Pulitzer Prize-nominated Christopher Anderson, the concept plays on the trend of passengers usually taking pictures from their seats out of plane windows, but reverses this, spotlighting instead on their emotions as they look through onto their destination. Casting The winner in this Campaign Big Global Awards category is '100 Reasons To Rise' by Uncommon Creative Studio for Quaker. Shot by photographer, storyteller and civil rights activist Milan Harriman, it features the most diverse cast ever assembled, and poses the question; 'We know our stories, but how often do we brush past people in our busy day and not know their stories?' Direction The winner in this Campaign Big Global Awards category is 'A British Original Period Drama' by Uncommon Creative Studio for British Airways. Directed by Sharon Maguire, famed for her work on Bridget Jones's Diary, this five-minute masterpiece is a blend of British humour and essential safety tips, amongst a backdrop of some of the country's grandest stately homes. Photography The winner in this Campaign Big Global Awards category is 'A British Original' by Uncommon Creative Studio for British Airways. The global campaign saw 512 executions celebrating the reasons we fly and ran across TV, OOH, press and digital channels. The executions used playful art direction and motion to build upon the design, demonstrating a high level of craft, embracing some of advertising oldest skills, writing and design, to make a modern classic. Post Production The winner in this Campaign Big Global Awards category is 'Owned By You, Right By You' by VCCP for Co-op. This clever ad features a papery twist that is becoming less and less common; with the core inky animation appearing on a receipt. In collaboration with production company Blinkink, VCCP's content creation studio Girl&Bear created the hero using stop-motion animation, with each frame actually being printed and cut through the receipt printer, and then shot on film. All shots were then edited together in post-production to create the effect of one single receipt telling the story. Writing The winner in this Campaign Big Global Awards category is 'Uber One 'Best Friends'' by Mother for Uber. This launch film features Hollywood icon Robert De Niro and rising British actor, Asa Butterfield forming an unlikely friendship after bonding over their uniquely banal shared passions for 'eating food' and 'going places.' Meanwhile, Uber one is a paid membership platform that allows members to save money and access benefits across Uber Eats and Uber Rides. In other words, it's a membership exclusively for people who eat food and go places. OOH and social expanded the campaign and built on the simplistically straightforward language of 'Eating food and going places'. Industry Sector: Automotive and Transport The winner in this Campaign Big Global Awards category is 'Trains, Now on Uber'' by Mother for Uber Trains. This quirky campaign saw the worlds of the ride-hailing app and trains collide to herald the launch of public transport on the app. The messages appeared at every stop of an Uber user's journeys, across social teasers and on public commutes on press adds, social content and out-of-home takeovers in train stations across London; including the rebranding of the UK's biggest indoor departure screen at London Waterloo that plotted train departure information on the map from the app. Entertainment and Leisure Media Channel: Design Celebrating the humble laundry chair we all have, and turning it into the chair we all want; the Rewear Chair got everyone talking about changing their laundry habits. Experiential The winner in this Campaign Big Global Awards category is 'The First Edible Mascot'' by Weber Shandwick for Pop-Tarts. In most sports sponsorships, brands buy their way in, launch their logo into an already crowded market and… sink without trace. To avoid this sad fate, Pop-Tarts had to think outside of the box – and came up with an altogether more gruesome destiny. For a brand historically associated with breakfast, its first step was to re-cast itself as a snack; a snack which would be ritualistically toasted and eaten alive by the winning team of the American College Football Pop-Tarts Bowl. Film In this short film directed by an Emmy award-winning director Kim Gehrig, A Life in Sound follows a woman dancing energetically as she moves through different phases and milestones of her life while listening to a wide variety of songs. By showcasing how audio entertainment service SiriusXM brings listeners closer to what they love and what moves them throughout their lives, this is a campaign you can almost feel as well as hear. 'Play Life' by Droga 5 London & Accenture Song Middle East for Qiddiya was a finalist in this category. Integrated The winner in this Campaign Big Global Awards category is 'Finger Lickin' Open Endorsement' by Courage for KFC. Faced with a saturated basketball market dominated by big QSR sponsorships, KFC Canada needed to make a splash in an unconventional way. So it incentivised the 'Finger Lickin' Good' phrase – a motto and gesture created by the brand in 1952 – which also taps into a little-known basketball ritual; the finger lick after key plays. It kicked things off by sneaking a real-life Colonel Sanders courtside at an NBA game with basketball's biggest influencer LethalShooter, thus infiltrating its competitor's turf with no sponsorship deal. News of the stunt went viral in the basketball community and even NBA star Luka Doncic was seen performing the celebration. Out of Home The winner in this Campaign Big Global Awards category is 'Coors Light's Out' by Rethink for Coors Light. What could have been an otherwise embarrassing episode ended up making sports advertising history when Shohei Ohtani, the greatest player in baseball, broke a Coors Light ad with a foul ball, leaving a black square of dead pixels on the can. Within 48 hours, Coors Light turned the broken ad into a special edition can – by simply leaving it right where it was. A commemorative series of cans was released, selling out in under 24 hours, prompting fans to start making their own. Promotion continued via an innovative use of outdoor media, with the same black square added to all existing media placements, including the local OOH in the Anaheim area and the broken ad was also run during a live game on every screen inside Angel Stadium.
