Checkout.com, a digital payments company, has partnered with Freenow by Lyft to enhance payment functionalities across the app’s European markets.
As Freenow aims to expand its presence in various European cities, it sought a reliable and technically agile payment partner that understands local payment nuances. Checkout.com was chosen for this role.
Fostering Growth in the European Mobility Market
Checkout.com’s selection as Freenow’s payment partner enables seamless payments across multiple markets, such as Germany, the UK, France, Italy, Poland, Greece, Spain, Austria, and Ireland. This strategic move fortifies Freenow’s position in the European taxi and mobility sector by combining global scale with local insight.
Checkout.com uses AI to analyze transaction data, providing insights that help improve payment performance and user experience. Through collaboration, these efforts ensure a robust and reliable payment system for Freenow’s customers.
Freenow has previously relied on Checkout.com to enhance its post-paid payment process, where payments are made after a journey is completed. Together, they have implemented digital wallet options and improved retry mechanisms to boost transaction collection efficiency.
In his statement, Antoine Nougué, Chief Revenue Officer at Checkout.com, highlighted that the partnership will bolster Freenow’s payment resilience and support in managing complex post-paid journey models, thereby accelerating the taxi app’s growth within the evolving mobility landscape.
