Our approach to payment partnerships
Our planned gateway would connect businesses with payment technology and appropriately authorized providers. These connections are under evaluation; no partnerships are being announced.
The connections we are evaluating
- White-label gateway providers
- Licensing or building on an existing gateway platform.
- Payment orchestration providers
- How your orchestration technology could fit our architecture.
- Acquiring banks
- Acquiring arrangements for European merchants, and what you require of a technology partner.
- Licensed payment institutions
- Collaboration models in which you provide the regulated services.
- Electronic money institutions
- Account and fund-flow services delivered under your authorization.
- Local payment method providers
- Technical and commercial requirements for offering your method.
- Technology infrastructure partners
- Hosting, security, tokenization and monitoring.
- E-commerce and SaaS platforms
- Your payment needs, so that what we build fits real demand.
