Checkout.com Partnership Sees Alchemy Pay Extend Global Reach
Alchemy Pay, a leading Singapore-headquartered fiat-crypto payment gateway, has announced a major collaboration with Checkout.com, a renowned payment processor serving global digital businesses.
The partnership, announced by Alchemy Pay via a blog article published on Friday, allows the firm to seamlessly integrate Checkout.com’s Visa and Mastercard channels into its on and off-ramps, enabling effortless transactions between fiat currency and cryptocurrency worldwide. Furthermore, Alchemy Pay’s NFT Checkout product is also set to incorporate these channels in the near future, expanding the reach of the payment gateway even further.
Visa and Mastercard integration
The company claims that the integration of Visa and Mastercard payment rails via Checkout.com enables it to achieve one of the highest payment acceptance rates in the industry. This seamless integration allows users to easily buy and sell digital assets through Visa and Mastercard using the Alchemy Pay Ramp and NFT Checkout.
Checkout.com is a leading global payments solution provider catering specifically to large global enterprise merchants, handling massive transaction volumes daily. In 2021 alone, the company processed hundreds of billions of dollars in payments. Its esteemed clientele includes major names such as Netflix, Farfetch, Grab, Sony, Pizza Hut, and Shein.
As a premier payment processor, Checkout.com further strengthens its position by providing crucial support to prominent players in the crypto industry, including Circle and Kucoin, among others. The company’s offerings include higher global acceptance rates, enhanced conversion rates, reduced charge-backs, and comprehensive global coverage through a streamlined entry point.
Bridging crypto and fiat economies
By eliminating obstacles to widespread crypto and NFT service adoption, Checkout.com’s smooth conversion process aligns perfectly with Alchemy Pay’s mission of bridging the gap between fiat and crypto economies on a global scale.
Digital assets don’t exist in a vacuum. The history of this new asset class is short, having emerged within a world where we have all engaged with a conventional finance system which continues to hold most of the wealth that exists. It’s vital therefore, that services like Alchemy’s broaden the ability to on and off ramp between crypto and fiat if we are to encourage ever greater participation in the crypto economy.
Alchemy Pay has been actively pursuing collaborations with renowned global acquirers and payment processors to streamline its on and off-ramp processes. In April the company announced a collaboration that would see it enable domestic transfer payments in India via India’s Unified Payments Interface (UPI) system to effect crypto purchases. Earlier that month, it secured $10 million in funding from market maker DWF Labs, with the funding earmarked towards expanding the business within the South Korean market.
Leveraging its payment channels, Alchemy Pay has successfully connected to key markets worldwide, enhancing its capabilities in global coverage and licensing, while also reducing transaction and operating costs.
In addition to strategic partnerships, Alchemy Pay has an impressive track record of securing licenses in various countries and regions, including the United States, Canada, Indonesia, and Lithuania.
