About us

Helping your business thrive in the digital economy

Global payments are complex and ever-evolving. So we’ve built the technology and expertise to help you succeed - one transaction at a time.

Performance obsessed

At Checkout.com, we’re inspired by the mindset of
athletes. We put their rigour, discipline, and constant pursuit of achievement at the heart of what we do.

We are born competitors; our sole purpose is to
help our customers win in their respective categories. It’s like being an athlete driving toward a personal best or Olympic gold.

We chase basis points in what matters most to our customers: more revenue, lower costs, quality data, and better customer experiences. We never settle. We know it’s a simple equation: to combine payment performance, rapid innovation, and the best possible service. That’s what merchants look for in our partnership.

We respect the role our competition plays; it drives greater intensity in our purpose because, ultimately, we define our success in our customers' success.
This is our never-ending commitment to you: we will never stop delivering for your business. We operate a global payment network that delivers more for you because we put the customer at the center of every product we design, build, or improve.

So you can count on us to never give up and always partner with you to keep you ahead. There is no finish line in this race.

We are Checkout.com and
we are where the world checks out

Operating Principles

We’re building for the future, and our operating principles guide us along the way.

CUSTOMER FIRST

We exist to solve customer problems and are obsessed with delivering the best possible outcomes and experiences for our clients.

RUN LEAN

We put ROI at the heart of every decision we make, treating each resource as if it were our last.

BETTER EVERY DAY

We don’t repeat the same mistake twice, because every day is an opportunity to be curious, learn and improve.

NEVER GIVE UP

We have a 100% all-in attitude in everything that we do. We are resilient and never let hardship get in the way of our goals.

ATHLETE MINDSET

We plan with rigor and continuously set more ambitious goals, because there is no finish line for the people of Checkout.

BE THE OWNER

We take initiative. We are always accountable to our customers & colleagues.

NO ROOM FOR APPROXIMATION

We are detail oriented and data-driven because being thorough is critical to good execution.

PACE MATTERS

We always act with a sense of urgency and accountability. Responsiveness and execution speed are critical to our success.

TALK STRAIGHT

We communicate authentically and respectfully. We listen to each other’s perspectives and always accept a good challenge.

ONE TEAM

We always put Checkout and our collective success before individual achievements. Once a decision is made, we all rally behind it.

FUNDAMENTALLY POSITIVE

We believe positivity compounds, and that trusting each other is fundamental to building good relationships and delivering results.

BEING TOGETHER

We thrive when we plan, execute, ship, and celebrate in person. Being together improves learning and belonging, leading to a stronger culture. It is also more fun.

CUSTOMER FIRST

”Before joining Checkout.com, I was a customer. I was particularly impressed by how they consistently helped power the performance of my business by listening to my product requirements and what I was looking for in a service“

NEVER GIVE UP

"When faced with the choice to push forward or give up, that’s when the real magic happens. If I had abandoned my career aspirations when quitting seemed easier, I would have never found my way into tech or this amazing team."

Lizzie Burrill

Beatrice Di Francesco

Shalaine Adams- Harris

ONE TEAM

"My experience at Checkout taught me that success comes from asking questions and embracing support. Despite being new to the office environment, I found guidance at every step. Together, as 'One Team,' we overcome challenges and drive progress forward."

PJ Brennan

"Over the past two years, our collaboration has shown how positivity compounds. By building trust, being responsive, and openly addressing challenges, we accelerated progress, and strengthened relationships. This model is now driving success and innovation across Checkout."

Wanjia Zhang

We’re building for the future, and our operating principles guide us along the way.

CUSTOMER FIRST

We always put our customers’ interests first. We solve their problems, are methodical and leverage data to instruct our decisions. We build for the many and not the few to create long term value.

”Before joining Checkout.com, I was a customer. I was particularly impressed by how they consistently helped power the performance of my business by listening to my product requirements and what I was looking for in a service“

Remo Giovanni Abbondandolo
MENAP

BE THE OWNER

We are accountable for our work. We strive to meet our commitments to customers and to each other. If we see something broken, we fix it. We take the initiative and have a bias for action.

”We think about the whole company and our long term- that’s how owners think, and that's how we want all of our employees to think.“

Jenny Hadlow
USA

ATHLETE MINDSET

We know that excellence takes commitment. Like athletes, we plan with rigor and execute with intensity. We think end-to-end because every detail matters to build a generation defining company.

”Details, tactics and planning are the difference between winning and losing- building muscle, establishing habit and routine makes you better. When you practice, focus and play with intensity- you do better. And you feel better in the process“

Chris Burgess
UK

BUILD WITH THE BEST

We never compromise on talent. We only hire and develop the best. We build diverse teams and continuously raise the bar to match our ambitions.

”Our people are at the heart of the service we deliver to our customers. Attracting high-performing people with strong personal values is the first step, we then focus on supporting one another along our common journey towards excellence“

Ashvin Pudurath
Ashvin Pudaruth
Head of Merchant Operations

BETTER EVERY DAY

We take risks and experiment, because it is ok to fail. When that happens, we use it to learn how not to make the same mistake again. We are curious, we seek to innovate and expand our knowledge behind it.

”Better every day' is a commitment to continuous improvement at Checkout.com. It recognises that achieving excellence is a process not a destination. The cumulative effect of striving to eliminate what isn’t working while also identifying opportunities to improve our technology, our processes and our people allows us to make marginal gains every day of the week.“

Colette Hanley

RUN LEAN

We embrace the bootstrap mentality in everything we do. We build lean and hungry teams that move fast with purpose and autonomy.

”The ‘Run Lean’ OP evokes a culture of resourcefulness and relentless pursuit of efficiency—forming teams that are robust in their ability to create, adapt and conquer challenges.“

TALK STRAIGHT

We get straight to the point and we also always seek others’ perspectives. When we discuss we are clear, direct and respectful. When we listen, we are humble and attentive. Once a decision is made, each one of us rallies behind it.

”By not sharing what we actually think, we are doing a disservice to ourselves and the company because we are missing the opportunity to engage in a constructive and meaningful conversation that can generate more value.“

Vladimira Artopé
Singapore

ONE TEAM

We put collective success before individual achievements. We act with integrity and support each other - this helps us cut through complexity. Winning only matters if we can do it as one team.

”We’re here to build something bigger than ourselves, something we can’t do alone, something we can only do with the help of our teams around the globe.“
