International payments app Zing, and global digital payments provider, Checkout.com, today announced a partnership to support the launch of a new suite of alternative payment methods integrated into Zing’s app.
Zing members can now use multiple top-up tools, including mobile wallets, Apple Pay, and Google Pay, made possible by Checkout.com’s global digital payment integration. The announcement is part of a wider partnership through which Checkout.com will act as Zing’s primary global acquiring partner.
Zing has experienced rapid growth since its launch and has established a strong presence in the UK thanks to its customer-friendly app, which allows members to spend, send, and receive money internationally confidently.
Since partnering with Checkout.com, Zing’s members have transitioned away from traditional card top-ups to newer alternative payment methods. This shift highlights the growing demand for flexible, fast payment solutions - an integral part of Zing’s customer-focused strategy to deliver convenience and simplicity.
This new partnership further enables Zing’s members to enjoy a worry-free global money experience. Zing is now focused on leveraging Checkout.com’s cutting-edge technology to boost acceptance rates and deliver performance across the payment journey. With direct acquiring available in more than 55 countries, Checkout.com’s global network will also enable Zing to roll out its services to more markets in the future.
James Allan, CEO and Founder at Zing, comments: “Fundamentally, Zing’s ambition is to give our members the most convenient tool for cross-border payments, making international money worry-free, wherever they are in the world.
“Our partnership with Checkout.com, is, and will continue to enable us to deliver the best experience possible for our members. We’re proud to be working alongside Checkout.com and look forward to further innovation in the future.”
Meron Colbeci, Chief Product Officer, at Checkout.com, comments: “We’re extremely proud to be partnering with Zing as it embarks on this next stage of growth.
