Backed by global icon Manny Pacquiao, the company introduces a merchant-first payments platform — spanning card processing, integrated commerce technology, and business banking — built to help U.S. businesses keep more of what they earn
LOS ANGELES, CA, July 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — MannyPay Global Inc. today announced the U.S. launch of its merchant payment processing division, extending a platform proven internationally into one of the world’s largest and fastest-growing financial-technology markets. Delivered through MannyPay.io, the division equips American businesses of every size with an integrated suite of payment and commerce solutions engineered around a single objective: lowering the cost of accepting payments so merchants can reinvest in growth.
The launch brings to the United States a comprehensive portfolio that includes credit and debit card processing, payment gateways, point-of-sale systems, virtual terminals, eCommerce integrations, recurring billing, mobile payments, ACH processing, business financing, fraud prevention, chargeback management, business banking solutions, and specialized programs for both traditional and high-risk industries. The expansion builds on the momentum of MannyPay’s regulated digital-payments platform in the Philippines, positioning the company to serve merchants ranging from independent entrepreneurs and family-owned businesses to national enterprises.
A DEFINING MOMENT IN A HIGH-GROWTH MARKET
MannyPay Global enters the U.S. market at a structural inflection point. The U.S. digital-payments market was valued at roughly $42.6 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach approximately $208.8 billion by 2035, a compound annual growth rate of about 17.2%. The United States already commands the highest digital-payments transaction value of any nation, an estimated $10.9 trillion in 2026, and payment processing represents the single largest revenue category within the global digital-payments landscape.
The behavioral shift underpinning this growth is now decisive. Worldwide, cash fell to roughly 46% of payments in 2025, down from 50% two years earlier, and 62% of adults reported making or receiving a digital payment in 2024. As commerce moves online, in-store, and mobile at once, merchant service providers have evolved from transaction processors into strategic technology partners — precisely the position MannyPay Global is built to occupy.
THE PROBLEM: PAYMENT COSTS ARE ERODING SMALL-BUSINESS MARGINS
For most merchants, payment acceptance is among the largest recurring operating expenses. U.S. card processing (“swipe”) fees reached an estimated $224 billion in 2023 — a cost second only to labor for many businesses. A typical U.S. small business pays roughly 2.5% to 3.5% on every card transaction, while transaction fees can consume anywhere from 0.5% to 5% of a sale. Against an average small-business net margin near 10%, even a fractional reduction in processing costs can meaningfully change profitability.
MannyPay Global was founded to address exactly this gap. Rather than treating processing as a commodity, the company is committed to transparent, competitive pricing and modern technology designed to help merchants retain more revenue — a mission, not a slogan. As regulatory scrutiny of interchange intensifies and landmark network settlements are projected to return tens of billions of dollars to U.S. businesses over the coming years, MannyPay Global intends to stand on the side of the merchant.
A MERCHANT-FIRST PLATFORM, NOT JUST A PROCESSOR
Unlike processors focused solely on the transaction, MannyPay Global has built a platform oriented toward long-term business growth. The company pairs advanced payment technology with dedicated relationship management, industry-specific expertise, proactive risk management, and business intelligence — delivering flexible solutions tailored to each merchant’s operations, whether they sell online, in-store, on mobile, or across borders. The result is a system designed to increase approval rates, improve operational efficiency, reduce fraud, and simplify day-to-day business management.
“Small businesses are the backbone of the American economy, yet millions continue to pay unnecessarily high processing fees that directly reduce their profitability. Throughout my life I have believed in creating opportunities that help people succeed. MannyPay was built with that same purpose — to give entrepreneurs access to better technology, fair pricing, and trusted support, so they can keep more of what they earn and reinvest it in their businesses, their employees, and their communities.”
— Manny Pacquiao, Chairman, MannyPay Global Inc.
CHAMPIONING THE FILIPINO COMMUNITY
MannyPay Global’s roots run directly through the Filipino community. Its platform was first proven in the Philippines, where it operates as a regulated digital-payments provider, and that foundation now anchors a specific commitment in the United States: helping Filipino-owned businesses — from restaurants and grocers to remittance-driven family enterprises — access modern payment technology, fair pricing, and dedicated support. Guided by Manny Pacquiao’s lifelong dedication to uplifting his community, the company is prioritizing Filipino-American merchants and cross-border commerce as a launch focus, honoring the community that shaped its founding while extending the same opportunity to underserved small businesses nationwide.
