# Virgin Money Giving to launch new payments platform with Worldpay - Link: https://fundraising.co.uk/2017/02/13/virgin-money-giving-launch-new-payments-platform-worldpay/ - Published: 2017-02-13T09:45:16+00:00 - Author: Melanie May **Virgin Money Giving has partnered with Worldpay to roll out a new online payments platform for its 2017 London Marathon.** According to [Virgin Money Giving](http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/), over 3,000 donations are made every hour ahead of major events such as the London Marathon, which meant it wanted a provider with experience of processing high volumes of traffic during peak times. The new platform has been developed with [Worldpay](http://www.worldpay.co.uk/uk) to improve the online donor journey, make it quicker and easier for donors to give, and to optimise the Virgin Money Giving website for mobile users to give  a more responsive customer experience and faster checkouts. ## Advertisement [⌊Posthub advert.
