Brite Instant Payments eliminates payment redirects; its ‘Single Sign’ option allows consumers to complete payments up to 40% faster, using top-of-mind information and circumventing the need for account creation or registration.
In addition, Brite has appointed Philippe Rousseau as head of the Benelux Region. Rousseau has previously held various senior positions at SOFORT and Klarna and has gained knowledge in account-to-account (A2A) and open banking payments.

The two moves come as the Belgian market becomes an increasingly attractive digital economy destination for businesses.
“Benelux is an important region to our development, and it’s fantastic to have Philippe on board to lead the charge. Extending our coverage demonstrates the continued growth of Brite and reaffirms our commitment to bringing a true out-of-the-box instant payments offering to merchants across Europe”, said Lena Hackelöer, CEO and founder of Brite Payments.
Brite Payments is a fintech based in Stockholm, providing instant payments and open banking technology to process payments between consumers and online merchants in real-time.
