Addition of Spanish payment method – Bizum – complements MBWay and Bancomat Pay already offered by Ecommpay to deliver single integration for merchants targeting Southern Europe
Inclusive global payments platform, Ecommpay, is focusing on the payments needs of merchants operating in Southern Europe as it adds direct connection to Spain’s popular payment method, Bizum, to its choice of APMs. The latest addition is central to Ecommpay’s strategy to work directly with payment methods to help manage risk and costs for merchants.
Ecommpay already offers access to Italy’s Bancomat Pay and Portugal’s MB Way. Now, with the addition of Bizum, merchants can gain broader European APM coverage through one integration to offer customers their preferred payment choice for improved checkout performance.
“Merchants who want to reach Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian customers are currently navigating a patchwork of local banking relationships, separate PSP configurations, and regional complexity,” explained Roy Blokker, Head of Commercial at Ecommpay. “We’re aiming to simplify the process for merchants who are looking to penetrate new South European markets through a single integration to payment methods in all three countries that can support tens of millions of mobile-native payment users.
“Customers are far more likely to complete a purchase if they are presented with a familiar, trusted payment method,” added Roy Blokker. “Connecting to Ecommpay through a single integration for Bizum, Bancomat Pay and MB Way can help merchants trading in Southern Europe to improve conversions efficiently and cost-effectively.”
There is no need for merchants to set up multiple local banking relationships for these specific payment methods. They can simply access these local payment methods alongside cards, wallets and other alternative payment methods through one unified platform to reduce friction at the critical moment. And with settlement handled directly through Ecommpay, merchants can go to market faster and operate more simply.
Ecommpay’s goal is to ensure payments are fully accessible and inclusive to all customers, regardless of geography. And the latest strategic connection means regional payment methods across a wide range of markets are now available across Europe, Asia, Latin America and North America, helping to ensure more customers see a familiar payment method when checking out.
