eBay has partnered with Checkout.com as it looks to reinforce its commitment to delivering fast, secure and seamless payment experiences for its users.
Avritti Khandurie Mittal, VP and General Manager of Global Payments and Financial Services at eBay, emphasised the growing importance of a reliable payments infrastructure, particularly as the platform’s customer base continues to expand.
Mittal noted that eBay users expect smooth and secure transactions, and this new partnership will play a key role in meeting those expectations.
She said: “The addition of Checkout.com to our partnership ecosystem highlights our continued commitment toward accelerating customer and business growth through uniquely eBay payments and financial services.”
From Checkout.com’s perspective, the agreement marks another significant milestone in its growth journey. CEO Guillaume Pousaz described eBay as an “iconic global commerce leader which continues to push the boundaries of digital commerce.”
He added that Checkout.com’s technology and payments expertise will be key in supporting eBay’s global ambitions.
Pousaz concluded: “Payments performance is critical at this enterprise-level scale, and our technology, data, and acquiring expertise will help eBay maximise acceptance in global markets and drive efficiency across its platform. Together, we’re shaping the future of the digital economy.”
Expanding its e-commerce portfolio
The new deal with eBay comes shortly after Checkout.com expanded its partnership with another rising e-commerce player, Temu. Having worked together since 2022, Checkout.com has supported Temu’s global payments infrastructure, a collaboration that likely drew the attention of eBay.
Checkout.com’s ability to support global commerce is strengthened by its local acquiring licences in key markets such as France, the UK, Hong Kong, Singapore, the UAE, Japan, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
However, the company announced it had applied for a different type of licence last week. If granted, Checkout.com will become the first digital payment service provider to gain a card issuing licence in the United Arab Emirates. This would allow the company to roll out domestic cards in the region, eyeing a launch date of 2026 if approved.
