POWER OF ATTORNEY                                               EXHIBIT 24


Know all by these present, that the undersigned hereby makes, constitutes and
appoints each of Dara Steele-Belkin, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary
of Global Payments Inc. (the ?Company?), and Joshua J. Whipple, the Company?s
Chief Financial Officer, or either of them acting singly, and with full power
of substitution and re-substitution, the undersigned?s true and lawful
attorney-in-fact (each of such persons and their substitutes being referred to
herein as the ?Attorney-in-Fact?), with full power to act for the undersigned
and in the undersigned?s name, place and stead, in any and all capacities, to:

(1)  prepare, execute, and submit to the Securities and Exchange Commission
(?SEC?) a Form ID, including amendments thereto, and any other documents
necessary or appropriate to obtain codes and passwords enabling the undersigned
to make electronic filings with the SEC of reports required or considered by
the Attorney-in-Fact to be advisable under Section 13 or Section 16 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the ?Exchange Act?) or any rule or regulation
of the SEC;

(2)  prepare, execute and submit to the SEC, the Company, and/or any national
securities exchange on which the Company?s securities are listed any and all
reports (including any amendments thereto) the undersigned is required to file
with the SEC, or which the Attorney-in-Fact considers it advisable to file with
the SEC, under Section 13 or Section 16 of the Exchange Act or any rule or
regulation thereunder, or under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933
(?Rule 144?), with respect to the any security of the Company, including Forms
3, 4 and 5, Schedules 13D and 13G, and Forms 144; and

(3)  obtain, as the undersigned?s representative and on the undersigned?s
behalf, information regarding transactions in the Company?s equity securities
from any third party, including, but not limited to, the Company and any
brokers, dealers, employee benefit plan administrators and trustees, and the
undersigned hereby authorizes any such third party to release any such
information to the Attorney-in-Fact.

The undersigned acknowledges that:

(a)  this Power of Attorney authorizes, but does not require, the
Attorney-in-Fact to act in his or her discretion on information provided to
such Attorney-in-Fact without independent verification of such information;

(b)  any documents prepared or executed by the Attorney-in-Fact on behalf of
the undersigned pursuant to this Power of Attorney will be in such form and
will contain such information as the Attorney-in-Fact, in his or her
discretion, deems necessary or desirable;

(c)  neither the Company nor the Attorney-in-Fact assumes any liability for the
undersigned?s responsibility to comply with the requirements of Section 13 or
Section 16 of the Exchange Act or Rule 144, any liability of the undersigned
for any failure to comply with such requirements, or any liability of the
undersigned for disgorgement of profits under Section 16(b) of the Exchange
Act; and

(d)  this Power of Attorney does not relieve the undersigned from
responsibility for compliance with the undersigned?s obligations under Section
13 or Section 16 of the Exchange Act, including, without limitation, the
reporting requirements under Section 13 or Section 16 of the Exchange Act.

The undersigned hereby grants to the Attorney-in-Fact full power and authority
to do and perform each and every act and thing requisite, necessary or
advisable to be done in connection with the foregoing, as fully, to all intents
and purposes, as the undersigned might or could do in person, hereby ratifying
and confirming all that the Attorney-in-Fact, or his or her substitute or
substitutes, shall lawfully do or cause to be done by authority of this Power
of Attorney.

This Power of Attorney shall remain in full force and effect until the
undersigned is no longer required to file Forms 4 or 5 or Schedules 13D or 13G
or Forms 144 with respect to the undersigned?s holdings of and transactions in
securities of the Company, unless earlier revoked by the undersigned in a
signed writing delivered to the Attorney-in-Fact.  This Power of Attorney
revokes all previous powers of attorney with respect to the subject matter of
this Power of Attorney.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has executed this Power of Attorney as of
March 21, 2025.
