ABOUT CHECKOUT.COM When Checkout.com launched as a cloud-based payments platform in 2012, even our founder Guillaume Pousaz could not foresee the speed of global digitization. From the ecommerce boom and our growing obsession with digital experiences, through the rise of web3 and cryptocurrency to the dawn of the metaverse, the transformation is real – and the pace of change is only accelerating. Checkout.com’s mission is to enable businesses and their communities to thrive in the digital economy. This mission inspires us to deliver innovative solutions that flex to your needs, valuable insights that help you get smart about your payments’ performance, and expertise you can count on as you navigate the complexities of an ever-shifting world. We are partners, not providers to our clients. In the last decade, we’ve grown to over 1700 employees in 19 global offices, each one of us passionate about helping thousands of businesses worldwide grow through our next-generation payments platform. Customer-centric to the core Solving for the customer We put customers at the heart of the development process. It’s our founding principle for building world-class solutions that meet your business needs, today and tomorrow. Focused on the long term Our next-generation technology doesn’t simply give businesses the ability to accept payments. It seamlessly brings solutions, systems and providers together for the long term. Dedicated to your success We provide our clients with a dedicated solutions engineer, with deep knowledge of their industry. That way we can precisely understand what you want to accomplish. Abstracting complexity Our technology and expertise helps our partners navigate the complexities of local payment methods, regulation and compliance. So you can focus on growing your core business. Building winning relationships We invite our merchants to share their perspectives on market trends and the payment experiences that their communities want. So we can help them accomplish their goals as their business evolves. Support that never stops Every interaction with a merchant has the potential to spark new ideas and unlock new opportunities. Which is why we work side-by-side as partners at every step. ABOUT GUILLAUME POUSAZ Fueled by the desire to enable businesses to create better payments experiences for their communities, Guillaume founded Checkout.com in 2012. Over the last decade, the company has delivered high-performance payments solutions to thousands of large enterprise merchants, and has grown to more than 1700 people in 19 countries—although he still describes it as being in ‘chapter zero’. Growing up in Switzerland, Guillaume was fascinated by street art (seen in our offices), technology and numbers—and started programming at the age of eight. This mix of creativity and logic laid the foundation for his future career and ultimately for building the preferred payments partner for digital businesses around the world. In 2021, employee reviews put Guillaume on Glassdoor’s list of top UK CEOs. Guillaume studied at Ecole Polytechnique and HEC Lausanne. As a philanthropist, his current focus is on improving access and outcomes in education. He is also a keen startup investor and a mentor for the Endeavor network. Finance Monthly FinTech Awards 2023.
