APEXX Global (‘APEXX’), the leading global payments platform, has launched a partnership with local payments infrastructure provider PPRO driving cost savings and conversion rates for merchants globally.

APEXX is a multi-award-winning global payments platform that combines acquirers, gateways, shopping carts and Alternative Payments Methods into a single API connection. It provides a partner-agnostic and fully integrated ‘one-stop solution’ for merchants, boosting basket conversions and transaction efficiency. PPRO’s technology and services reduce the complexity, cost, and time it takes to enter new markets, simultaneously driving conversion rates for global companies by optimising their payments offering. APEXX’s partnership with PPRO will work to combine volume, ultimately driving transaction efficiencies. 

Through this partnership with PPRO, APEXX will accelerate the delivery of local payment methods across international markets including APAC, EMEA and the Americas. This means that merchants will benefit from more frictionless transactions, with a higher volume of transactions supported. Through the sharing of industry expertise, the partnership will benefit merchants seeking a wide range of payments options, increasing transaction flexibility.

Rodney Bain, Managing Director at APEXX Global, said: "APEXX was born from the need to address systemic ‘pain points’ in the merchant and consumer payments process, leading to higher costs and lower conversion rates. Our partnership with PPRO builds on our mission to drive cost efficiencies and provide merchants with the benefits of alternative and local payment methods, ultimately empowering both merchants and consumers to choose how they transact.”

Stefan Merz, Chief Operating Officer and Interim Chief Commercial Officer of PPRO, said: “We are delighted about our new partnership with APEXX. As e-commerce and payments accelerate at a pace this industry has never seen before, companies are being pressed to offer localised experiences to consumers worldwide. APEXX is a stellar payments company, meeting the demands of their merchants with agility and reliability. We look forward to supporting their work with our local payments expertise and capabilities across EMEA,  APAC and the Americas in the coming months.”
