How Checkout.com Saves 15% In FTE Hours And £30k Per Annum On Legal Fees With VIXIO PaymentsCompliance
Checkout.com is an API-based platform that provides online payment solutions. It helps fintech customers overcome layers of complexities to gain advantages through the payment process. Its technology is designed to make transactions seamless, faster and more reliable in 150+ currencies around the world, while providing complete transparency of payments data. Its customers gain deep insights into their processes, enabling them to make intelligence-based decisions while unlocking new opportunities and revenue streams. Since launching in 2012, Checkout.com has grown to more than 1,000 employees and 17 offices across five continents.
As Checkout.com expanded, so too did the time it spent staying on top of new legislation in the territories it served. It needed expert help to deliver a more cost-efficient way to monitor changes to global markets. Not only that, but it needed experts who could help it stay ahead of regulatory enforcements. VIXIO was able to offer the solution. It was only natural they turned to VIXIO.
The difference VIXIO makes
For Checkout.com, compliance obligations are paramount. Before working with VIXIO, it relied on professional networks and law firms for information. This was helpful, but time-consuming and limited in the scope needed. The firm wanted a tool that could drive insights, helping it develop its strategy.
With VIXIO, it tapped into PaymentsCompliance, which provides real-time information and actionable insights into trends and issues. Checkout.com has found particular services especially invaluable to its business and that of its customers:
-
- Horizon Scanning – comprehensive coverage and organised tracking of regulatory changes in set jurisdictions, ensuring they don’t fall foul of their obligations. This enables Checkout.com to spot opportunities, adapt and mitigate risk.
- Alerts – as relevant events unfold, Checkout.com never misses an update. They receive alerts, keeping them abreast of changes as they happen. Customised alerts are a feature of Horizon Scanning.
- Daily emails – changes in regulatory compliance sourced and brought together each day for focused review.
- Country guides – information on specific countries translated into English to provide an understanding of the regulatory framework for that jurisdiction. Helpful for territories Checkout.com is already operating in, and for assessing and planning entry into new markets.
