RANCHO CORDOVA, Calif., and JACKSONVILLE, Fla.—FIS (NYSE: FIS) and Eyefinity, a VSP Global company, have announced an agreement to offer leading-edge new payment solutions to eyecare practices across the U.S. Eyefinity said it will integrate the Worldpay from FIS payment processing platform into its network of Eyefinity Practice Management, OfficeMate, and AcuityLogic optometric practices, which provide eyecare services across the nation.

FIS acquired Worldpay in July 2019. By working together, FIS and Eyefinity look to deliver a more seamless and secure payment experience for both caregivers and patients, according to the announcement.

“This is one of several strategies planned in our broader vision to support the patient experience within eyecare practices,” said Charlie Biegel, Eyefinity vice president and chief operating officer. “We are committed to providing doctors with cutting-edge retail payment capabilities and resources that simplify their patients’ journey through the practice.”

The Nov. 20 announcement said that the Worldpay from FIS payment processing platform will enable payments to be automatically posted to the patient ledger, streamlining practice workflow. Convenient payment acceptance capabilities like contact-less tap-to-pay with digital wallets also creates an expedited checkout experience for patients and staff.
