Endava plc and Paysafe Ltd announced a multi‑year strategic partnership on November 13, 2025, to combine Paysafe’s global payments platform with Endava’s AI‑driven engineering capabilities.
Under the agreement, Endava will deliver AI‑enabled solutions, engineering optimisation, and program‑delivery excellence to support Paysafe’s digital‑wallet, prepaid, and online‑payment services. The partnership will cover Paysafe’s 48‑currency, 260‑payment‑type platform, with Endava’s AI accelerators—proprietary machine‑learning frameworks and cloud‑native AI services—integrated to accelerate transaction speed, enhance security, and improve customer engagement.
The partnership comes as Endava reported Q3 FY2025 revenue of £194.8 million, up 11.7% YoY, and a profit of £10.9 million, after a 6.6% revenue rise and a profit‑before‑tax dip in Q2 FY2025. Endava also announced a $100 million share‑buyback program. Paysafe, meanwhile, posted Q3 2025 revenue of $433.8 million, a 2% increase from the prior year, but a net loss of $87.7 million driven by a large tax expense. In Q2 2025, Paysafe’s revenue fell 3% to $428.2 million, with a net loss of $50.1 million.
The alliance aligns with Endava’s AI‑native transformation strategy, positioning the company to capture growth in the digital‑payments market. By leveraging Paysafe’s established client base and Endava’s AI accelerators, the partnership is expected to unlock new revenue streams and strengthen Endava’s competitive moat in high‑value, outcome‑based contracts.
Bob Legters, Paysafe’s Chief Product Officer, said the collaboration would set a new standard for payments, enabling quicker rollouts, higher conversion, and richer digital experiences. Alastair Lukies, Endava’s Chief Engagement Officer, added that the partnership would create smarter, more intuitive ways for people and businesses to engage, while John Cotterell, Endava’s CEO, highlighted the company’s commitment to investing in people and skills to support the next wave of digital transformation.
Investors reacted negatively to the announcement, largely because it coincided with Paysafe’s Q3 2025 earnings miss and a significant net loss. The earnings miss—$070 versus a consensus of $0.73—was driven by a $87.7 million tax expense that offset revenue growth. Endava’s market reaction was tempered by a projected revenue decline for the next quarter and a constrained demand backdrop, reflecting concerns about near‑term growth prospects.
The partnership is expected to accelerate the deployment of AI‑powered payment solutions, improve transaction speed and security, and open new revenue opportunities for both companies. As Endava continues to expand its AI capabilities and Paysafe seeks to strengthen its global payments footprint, the collaboration could position both firms for long‑term growth in a rapidly evolving digital‑payments landscape.
