Payment specialists Paysafe and Spreedly announce partnership

Travel industry payments platform Paysafe has announced a partnership with global payments orchestration platform Spreedly.

The merchant acquirer has joined Spreedly’s partnership programme for international merchant payments.

This offers multiple payments services worldwide and aims to speed up customer acquisition, grow revenue for businesses and add value to merchants, platforms and other clients.

The deal also gives Spreedly’s international merchant base access to Paysafe’s payment gateway, through which retailers can process card transactions across multiple countries and currencies. Retailers can accept payments in more than 40 currencies through Paysafe’s services.

The partnership has initially launched in the UK and Europe, and is focused on ecommerce, retail, travel, crypto and financial services. Both companies plan to extend the partnership into north America and Latin America.

Paysafe chief revenue officer Rob Gatto said: “Spreedly’s Partnership Program has an exciting vision to offer businesses the opportunity to easily test and add new payment services through its ecosystem, which in turn can bolster all-important customer acquisition and retention efforts. We are looking forward to a successful collaboration.”

Spreedly vice president of global sales Bill Ryan also welcomed the partnership.

He said: “Our partners join our program to signal to the market their commitment to building an inclusive payments ecosystem, full of potential for payment services providers as well as the merchants, merchant aggregators, and marketplaces.

“We welcome the addition of Paysafe’s innovative and robust payment solutions as we continue to see incredible growth in transaction volume throughout the EU driven by merchants and merchant aggregators interested in the benefits of payments orchestration.”
