# Payworks

**Canonical:** https://apis.io/providers/payworks/  
**APIs profiled:** 0

Payworks was a Munich-based payment-infrastructure company backed by Speedinvest, building a mobile point-of-sale (mPOS) payment-gateway platform that let acquirers, PSPs and ISVs turn commodity smartphones and tablets into card-accepting terminals via a developer SDK and gateway. It was acquired by Visa in 2019 and its technology was folded into Visa's acceptance/CyberSource stack, after which the independent Payworks brand was wound down. As of this enrichment pass the company operates no active independent public developer surface — its primary domains are dormant (payworks.com resolves to a parked AWS S3 redirect bucket with no website configuration; payworks.de is a domain-for-sale parking page) and no docs/developer/api subdomains resolve — so there is no live OpenAPI, SDK, or documentation surface to harvest into the network. This profile is retained as a historical Speedinvest portfolio record.
