gir deg adgang til verdensmarkedene!
Explanation:
Det egentlige uttrykket er "the world is your oyster", som betyr "alt ligger til rette for deg". Jeg foreslår:

"gir deg adgang til verdensmarkedene"
el. "lar deg erobre verden"

if the world is your oyster, you have the ability and the freedom to do anything or go anywhere. You're young and healthy and you've got no commitments, so the world is your oyster.

X får pengene til å rekke jorden rundt!

Det er vel egentlig dette denne betalingstjenesten ønsker å si? At man kan betale fra hvor som helst til hvor som helst, i hele verden.

Siden det dukket opp en del motforestillinger og uttrykket riktig nok ikke dekker eksakt (men det er et fint uttrykk:), kan du vel kanskje skrive om til et noe mindre slagordaktig og uten svulstighet til:
"gir deg frihet til å gjøre som du vil", "gir deg handlefrihet" eller noe slikt.

neutral  Egil Presttun: "The world in an oyster" og "the world in a nutshell" er to forskjellige uttrykk som slett ikke betyr det samme. Kan en betalingstjeneste gi deg verden i et nøtteskall?
49 mins
neutral  Ingrid Thorbjørnsrud: Originalteksten leker seg med uttrykket er "The world is your oyster", så da passer kanskje "legger verden for dine føtter", selv om det virker litt svulstig.

  -> Meget svulstig med noe for høy markedsføringstemperatur for norske forhold, vel?
neutral  Bjørnar Magnussen: nja... "i et nøtteskall" betyr ca. "i komprimert form" - det fungerer kanskje som et slagord, men er et stykke fra originalens betydning
