Checkout.com has launched its direct acquiring operations in Canada, extending its reach within the North American market.  

The move enables Checkout.com Canadian customers gain greater control over their payment transactions, with the potential for higher authorisation rates and improved payment performance. 

The company, known for providing payment solutions to international brands such as eBay, Klarna, and GE Healthcare, reported expansion across all regions in 2024, with the US market experiencing growth exceeding 80%.  

Earlier this year, Checkout.com established a new office in San Francisco to support its growth trajectory. 

Checkout.com head of revenue for North America Zack Levine said: “North America is seeing a major shift in how people spend, and we are ready to help enterprise merchants capitalise.  

“Through one integration point, merchants can access our full suite of online pay-in and payout capabilities across cards, bank rails, wallets, and popular methods like PayPal and Venmo, in addition to a variety of advanced solutions like Pinless Debit.” 

To spearhead the growth in North America, Checkout.com has appointed Zack Levine as head of revenue for the region.  

Levine, who initially joined the company in 2021 to head the US sales division, was later appointed as general manager for Israel in 2024. 

 In his current role, Levine is tasked with overseeing the commercial strategy and the performance of various teams, including sales, business development, account management, and solutions engineering, in both North America and Israel. 

Levine stated: “We are hyper-focused on bringing best-in-class engagement to the payments industry and ensuring that we continue to distance ourselves from the pack in terms of service and what it means to build long-term partnerships.” 

In May, Checkout.com collaborated with UAE-based fintech company du Pay, aimed at enhancing wallet top-up capabilities to support fintech services in the UAE.
