In the last few years GlobalCollect has grown substantially. In 2013 its revenue increased by more than a half to a three-digit figure in million Euros. A Latin American payment gateway Sub1, acquired by GlobalCollect, likewise increased its revenue by nearly a half. GlobalCollect also grows through partnerships and addition of new local methods.
