Local payments infrastructure provider PPRO has released a direct integration to Benelux payment method Payconiq. The partnership is expected to drive growth for e-commerce merchants selling to customers in Belgium, The Netherlands and Luxembourg.

Jose Martinez-Benavente, Senior Manager of Payment Networks at PPRO, commented, “We are delighted to offer a direct integration to Payconiq – one of the most popular payment methods in one of the most lucrative e-commerce markets in Europe. We’re also really proud of the close collaboration between our two teams; the close-to-the-metal nature of our integration enables us to deliver the best technical performance and conversion rates in the market.”

Recently, PPRO announced an integration with the European mobile payment method Satispay. The news follows the company’s funding and a milestone valuation of $1 billion. The integration will see PPRO strengthening its payments portfolio in Italy with a full market offering that includes direct integrations to popular local payment methods MyBank, Trustly, Sofort, Paysafecard, and SEPA. The development is expected to boost sales for PPRO’s customers including payment service providers, gateways, banks, and enterprises with payment platforms.

Guido Vermeent, CEO of Payconiq International, said, “PPRO is an e-commerce champion in Europe and a strategic partner for us, and we’re delighted to be working with them. PPRO is a global provider who specialises in local solutions, and we are one of the first payment companies in Europe to develop multi-country payment solutions with local customisations. Partnering up with a like-minded global payment provider like PPRO is a logical step for our growth.”
