Fights Worldpay termination
Designer Brands sued Worldpay on January 27, 2026, to block its attempted termination of their card processing agreement, vital for nearly 500 U.S. stores and over half of online sales. A court issued a temporary restraining order the next day, finding the company likely to prevail on breach claims. Worldpay alleges a financial metric default; Designer Brands denies it.
