Computop is not just the payment gateway of choice for the world’s largest omnichannel merchants but also a trusted processing partner for other global PSPs and banks.
“Our unique approach of not touching money but focusing on the IT aspects of payment processing makes us a trusted partner. As a pure technology company, we are faster and more agile than other market participants,” explains Andre, “This is backed by over 20 years of fintech solutions made in Germany.”
Computop is still 100% founder-owned and can independently decide its strategy and direction without falling prey to short-term market trends.
“We are very proud to stand firm in a consolidating market,” Andre adds.
