Proud to share some exciting news from Checkout.com. The Georgia Department of Banking and Finance has accepted our application for a Merchant Acquirer Limited Purpose Bank charter. Once approved, this charter will allow us to connect directly to card networks like Visa and Mastercard – reducing complexity, increasing speed, and delivering even stronger performance for our merchants in North America. I’m honored to lead this next phase as CEO of MALPB and Head of North America Banking for Checkout.com. This is a long-term investment in the region, backed by deep experience and a clear vision: to give every merchant the control, resilience, and innovation they need to grow. More to come soon. But today, I’m incredibly proud of the team who helped get us here. Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/e5EUaZPP #WhereTheWorldChecksOut
