The partnership will see Checkout.com provide acquiring and gateway services to Uber’s ridesharing and on-demand delivery platforms across multiple markets worldwide.

Uber chose Checkout.com for its unique ability to combine global coverage with local expertise in a number of key markets.  With its deep enterprise expertise and digital-first approach, Checkout.com is well-suited to match Uber’s scale and support its expansion in the digital economy.

“This partnership with Uber is an important milestone for Checkout.com and another testament to the significant progress we are making in winning the global enterprise payments market,” said Guillaume Pousaz, Checkout.com CEO. “Helping to support the millions of transactions Uber processes daily requires payments infrastructure that is resilient, global, and continuously improving.
