Summary
Checkout.com, which already has extensive operations across Europe, Asia Pacific and the US, will better serve French businesses and other pan-European merchants, by providing them with services through its unified global payment processing platform. Checkout.com already supports some of France’s top online companies, including Veepee (formerly Vente Privee), Aircall and other international businesses such as easygroup, Virgin Active, TransferWise and Dashlane through their French operations. As a part of the new licence, Checkout.com is now fully regulated by the Banque de France and can offer greater services to the French market and Eurozone countries. Guillaume Pousaz, chief executive of Checkout.com, said: “France is one of the most critical eCommerce markets in Europe and of great strategic importance to the continued success of our business. It works with businesses across Europe, the U.S., the Middle East, and APAC to achieve faster, more reliable processing in more than 150 currencies, with direct access to Visa, Mastercard, American Express, all major international cards, as well as popular alternative and local payment methods.
