Merchant services
International payments & EU expansion
International payments mean more than accepting a foreign card: customers need familiar payment methods and your business needs workable settlement and currency terms. We source local acquiring, multi-currency settlement and alternative payments matched to your markets and existing setup.
Who this is for
E-commerce and point-of-sale merchants entering the EU or US, selling across borders or adding payment methods in an existing market. Platforms and growing businesses can explore local acquiring, Klarna and other buy now, pay later options, wallets and local bank transfers.

Negotiate and connect
We negotiate commercial terms and coordinate integration with your existing checkout or payment platform.

FAQ
Your questions, answered.
- Do I need a separate acquirer in every country?
- Not always. One provider may cover several markets, while local acquiring can make sense in others. We compare coverage, approval requirements and total cost before recommending a provider setup.
- Which payment methods should I add?
- The right mix depends on where your customers live and what they buy. We assess options such as Klarna, Apple Pay, Google Pay and local bank transfers rather than adding methods that bring cost without a clear benefit.
- Can I take payments and settle in different currencies?
- Many providers support multiple payment and settlement currencies, but availability and exchange costs vary. We check the currencies you need and negotiate the foreign exchange and settlement terms up front.
- Will I have to rebuild my checkout to expand?
- Not necessarily. Some payment methods can be added through your existing platform, while others need a new connection. We review your integration before choosing providers and agree the technical work before onboarding starts.
