CINCINNATI, Aug. 6, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Worldpay, Inc. (NYSE: WP; LSE: WPY) today announced they have agreed to extend its exclusive relationship with CRS Texas for four years.

The two companies, which have maintained a highly successful partnership over the past 10 years, are invested in continuing to strengthen their relationship and expand their reach.

Adrian Guerra, a Principal with CapStreet, added, "CRS has built a highly recurring business focused on customer service and we look forward to pursuing new organic growth initiatives and continuing CRS's successful acquisition strategy."

Building on what is already a powerful and vital foundation, the continued, exclusive partnership between Worldpay and CRS Texas will bring the winning hardware and software solutions to more merchant locations, ultimately enabling seamless purchases for consumers and steady growth for merchants.

"We're excited to continue to partner with CRS Texas in the next stage of their growth and, with The CapStreet Group's interest and investment in CRS Texas, we see great things in the future," said Matt Downs, Head of Integrated Payments Channel Partnerships at Worldpay.
