Further, amalgamating ProcessOut’s expertise and feature with Checkout.com’s platform would allow the latter to offer a new set to actionable insights to the global merchants on the grounds of augmenting their acceptance rates and maximizing the cost efficiency of payments.

On the other hand, the Chief Product Officer and Co-Founder of ProcessOut, Manuel Huez stated that the team is delighted to be joining Checkout.com and is henceforth looking forward to continuing working with some of the largest merchants in improving their payments.
