IXOPAY Partners with Aplauz
The industry leading payment orchestration platform, IXOPAY has partnered with Aplauz, the go-to payment method for conscious spending.
The strategic partnership will see IXOPAY and Aplauz provide clients with a payment solution that enables them to make every payment a conscious choice. It is also an opportunity for online merchants to reach new and previously untapped audiences via traditional brick and mortar stores where Aplauz vouchers can be purchased.
As a best-of-breed payment orchestration platform, IXOPAY’s architecture gives merchants complete control of their payments by providing the best payments processing options per country, intelligent routing, cascading, and unparalleled risk management function. From just one API, users benefit from simplified integration of acquirers, payment service providers, and risk service providers. It also has state-of-the-art centralized reconciliation and settlements services.
“What attracts us to Aplauz is their payment conscious model. It is about taking control of your finances, which is a mirror of IXOPAY’s platform which gives merchants control of their payment stack."
Aplauz is a prepaid digital credit that empowers people to take control of their online payments. Vouchers can be bought at convenience stores and used to make online purchases — giving its users independence from credit cards and complete control over how much they spend. It is an ideal solution for those who don’t want to disclose financial details online or who simply want to set specific limits for themselves and those who they support financially.
Aplauz is currently available across over 2,000 convenience stores in Switzerland and will expand across Europe this year.
“We are delighted to work with IXOPAY whose flexible nature and reach make for a smart business decision, but more than that, our culture and philosophies align.”
