Illustrative online retailer preparing customer orders
CROSS-BORDER COMMERCE / GLOBAL ACQUIRING

Meet your customers
in their next market.

Connect online retail, digital products and cross-border trade with acquiring capabilities across Europe, North America and Australia. Offer cards, wallets and market-specific payment methods, with settlement in US dollars.

02 / GLOBAL & LOCAL ACQUIRING

Regional connections.
A considered local approach.

Assess the acquiring route against your business entity, customer market and approved payment configuration.

01

Authorization experience

Choose eligible regional connections with the customer and transaction context in mind. Local acquiring can help align a payment with its market; outcomes vary by issuer and transaction.

02

Cost considerations

Compare the complete commercial terms of the available routes, including processing and currency conversion. A local route does not automatically mean a lower total cost.

03

Consumer familiarity

Combine acquiring choices with recognizable payment methods and clear checkout information, keeping the purchase experience understandable for local customers.

03 / PAYMENT & SETTLEMENT CURRENCIES

Customer currency choices.
USD settlement.

Keep the currency your customer pays separate from the currency your business receives.

USD

Settlement currency

Settlement is available in US dollars only. This is not a multi-currency balance or multi-currency settlement offering.

T+3

Settlement cycle

Timing follows your merchant agreement, including the definition of T, cutoff times, business days and applicable conditions.

Payment currencies

Request confirmation of each checkout currency for the target country, payment method and merchant profile before launch.

Conversion arrangements

Where a currency conversion is required, agree how it is applied, when the rate is determined and which charges are included.

Rate transparency

Confirm the rate source, any markup and how conversion appears in reports before activating the proposed setup. No universal exchange rate or fee is quoted here.

04 / LOCAL PAYMENT METHODS

Give customers
a familiar way to pay.

All eight methods below are available to request for activation. Actual availability depends on the customer market, merchant approval and payment configuration.

European market options

iDEALBancontactBLIKSwishTWINTWero

Confirm the relevant countries and customer requirements for each method as part of your market assessment.

Additional market-specific options

KlarnaCash App

Discuss eligibility, customer location and the available product configuration for your proposed checkout.

Cards and digital wallets

Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay and Google Pay are also available, subject to region, approval and device compatibility. For the UK or a specific Asia-Pacific country, request a country-level review rather than assuming region-wide availability.

05 / CROSS-BORDER PAYMENT SUCCESS

Optimize for the market.
Not just the transaction.

Use your enabled payment capabilities to improve the path from regional checkout to confirmed payment.

01

Local routing

Allocate eligible payments using country, currency and available acquiring connections. Match the route to the market and the approved business setup.

02

Intelligent 3DS

Adapt the authentication strategy to the transaction context and applicable requirements, helping legitimate customers complete the required steps.

03

Regional channel selection

Review performance and response behavior by market before changing channel priorities. Keep costs and risk in the same comparison.

04

Failed-payment recovery

Use appropriate retries and enabled alternative payment choices for recoverable outcomes. Resolve uncertain transaction status before creating another attempt.

Where do you
want to grow next?
