Payment Types

With a Vantiv Worldpay merchant account, you will be able to accept donations through ActBlue made using the following debit and credit card types (including donations made with Apple Pay®):

  • VISA
  • MasterCard
  • Discover
  • American Express*

*American Express is only enabled by default on merchant accounts established February 2017 or later as a result of a recent agreement with Vantiv Worldpay. Prior to February 2017, this could only be enabled by setting up a merchant services account directly with American Express and linking that account with Vantiv Worldpay. If your merchant account was set up prior to February 2017 and you have American Express enabled via this method (or not enabled at all), and you would like to get set up with American Express under the new program (which we absolutely recommend!), please submit this form.
