Ding partners with Gr4vy to expand payment options

By Gloria Methri

Ding has selected payments infrastructure provider Gr4vy to offer alternative payment methods to its users and increase flexibility at the time of checkout.

The mobile top-up giant chose Gr4vy to seamlessly connect to leading payment service providers through advanced APIs and to get all the infrastructure needed to meet PCI compliance and global payment data regulations.

Ding will utilize Gr4vy’s full suite of features and benefits to offer greater payment optionality as it accelerates growth into new international markets.

“Meeting customer demand for new ways to pay can be both challenging and complex. Added to this complexity is the ability to keep customer payment data secure while still meeting current and future payment data regulations,” said John Lunn, Founder, and CEO of Gr4vy.

“We have built our cloud-native POP with the utmost concern for merchants and their customers’ payment needs and data security. Ding shares this same commitment to payment diversification and security.”

Ding is a global mobile top-up service helping people connect since 2006, via its mobile app, website, and over 600,000+ retail outlets worldwide. The company delivers a top-up “every second” via over 850 operators across 150+ countries.

“The partnership with Gr4vy will support Ding’s payment strategy and expansion plans, removing the complexity of offering new payment types and accelerating speed to market when entering new markets,” said Micheál Egan, Head of Payments at Ding.com. “Ding chose Gr4vy’s cloud-first API offering as it stood out from other payment orchestration providers, allowing us to be more flexible and agile in supporting its long-term goals.”

Gr4vy’s payment orchestration layer makes it easier for merchants everywhere to deploy, manage, customize and optimize the right payment method for the specific user. Merchants can get multiple dedicated instances of Gr4vy in the Cloud to reduce points of failure.
