By Megha Bhattacharya

epay, a business segment of Euronet Worldwide, Inc., is now the global partner for the digital gift card and prepaid products for the UK’s FinTech app, Revolut. The new partnership between Revolut and the full-service payment provider epay will span 36 countries via an API integration into Revolut’s three apps (Consumer, Business and Junior). Revolut customers now have the ability to buy, gift and be rewarded with gift cards and digital content easily and seamlessly all without ever having to leave their Revolut app.

“Our customers are primarily millennials and digital natives who expect a financial app to offer attractive additional services as well as a perfect user experience—we enable both of these with epay’s flexible API integration,” explained Maisum Dairkee, Product Owner at Revolut. “epay’s API integration not only provides access to a broad range of scalable content to meet all customer needs at both a local and global level, but it also serves to provide a perfect and seamless customer experience without ever having to leave the app.”

“Our technical solution and processes allow us to provide Revolut with value-added services through a single API as a full-service payment provider,” said Kevin Caponecchi, Executive VP and CEO, epay, Software and EFT Asia Pacific Division. “This means we go beyond the classic role of a gift card provider and instead become more of an infrastructure partner for a worldwide roll-out. We want to help fintechs like Revolut provide their customers with the exact content they expect or have always wanted. We are also showing our 2000 + existing gift card and prepaid portfolio of brand partners, new ways of connecting with their customers by opening up new digital and mobile sales channels such as Revolut.”
