Digital payment firm Stripe has joined forces with UK-based fintech firm Revolut to enhance payments in the UK and Europe and support its expansion into new markets.

Revolut, which launched in the UK in 2015, provides money transfer and exchange services as well as a range of other products such as accounts, insurance, trading and invoicing among others.

It caters to 18 million customers and 500,000 businesses in over 200 countries and territories.

The partnership comes as Revolut prepares to foray into Mexico and Brazil as part of its broader expansion strategy.

The firm will tap Stripe’s infrastructure and global presence to expand into these and other new markets and provide customers enhanced payment experience in line with their local payment preferences.

The two companies will also work together to explore opportunities to extend their collaboration and develop new payment offerings.
