Accelerating the expansion in the Swiss Market
On the back of an exponential growth in its first year of operation in Switzerland, HeidiPay has gained over 300 merchant partners including prestigious brands and retailers. This capital injection enables it to scale its existing operations, while benefiting from significant credit lines to support the requirements of large merchants.
Launch of its “BNPL enabler” solution in Italy
HeidiPay is powering Compass’ ecommerce BNPL solution in Italy, branded PagoLight. HeidiPay provides a full set of ecommerce plugins/APIs, technology stack, anti-fraud & conversion analytics tools to enable Compass to deliver one of the most flexible BNPL solutions in the Italian market. Compass retains full control of the risk decisioning, funding and post-sale operations, leveraging its market leading know-how and infrastructure.
