Checkout.com has entered into a strategic partnership with Uber to provide acquiring and gateway services for Uber’s ridesharing and on-demand delivery platforms across several international markets.
Uber selected Checkout.com for its combination of global coverage and local market expertise.
With experience in enterprise-scale operations and a digital-first approach, Checkout.com will support Uber’s payments infrastructure as it continues to expand globally.
“Riders trust Uber to deliver a magical experience that just works, and that extends to how they pay,”
said Karl Hebert, Vice President of Global Commerce at Uber.
“We rely on partners with reach and reliability as we continue to grow. Checkout.com’s enterprise expertise, global footprint, and digital-first approach give us confidence that their infrastructure can help us to continue to enhance the payments experience for riders and eaters worldwide.”
The collaboration will see Uber use Checkout.com’s proprietary acquiring network and payment technologies, including Intelligent Acceptance, an AI-driven solution that optimises transaction routing and reduces payment failures.
“This partnership with Uber is an important milestone for Checkout.com and reflects the progress we are making in the global enterprise payments market,”
said Guillaume Pousaz, Chief Executive Officer of Checkout.com.
“Supporting the millions of transactions Uber processes daily requires resilient and scalable infrastructure, and we are committed to providing that performance.”
