Checkout.com this month launched operations in Canada.
Citing high growth in the region, the UK-born digital payments giant says it is seeking to expand its footprint across North America as the London-based fintech opened another U.S. office in San Francisco in addition to its launch up North.
The U.S. was Checkout.com’s fastest-growing market last year, and Canada is another juicy target, boasting nearly 30 million shoppers who form the ninth-largest e-commerce market in the world.
“Canada is a core region for Checkout.com’s global expansion,” says Antoine Nougue, Chief Commercial Officer.
“Today’s announcement is a critical part of our strategy, enhancing how we show up for our customers and help them unlock greater value from their digital payments strategies,” he remarked.
To continue driving growth on the continent, Checkout.com has appointed Zack Levine as Head of Revenue for North America.
“North America is one of the most competitive and complex payments markets, and under Zack’s leadership, I’m confident in our ability to help more merchants meet this growing demand for digital commerce,” stated Nougue.
Levine, who joined Checkout.com in 2021, believes that “North America is seeing a major shift in how people spend.”
Checkout.com’s 2025 Digital Economy Report found that North Americans continue to ramp up their e-commerce habits.
“We are ready to help enterprise merchants capitalize,” says Levine. “Through one integration point, merchants can access our full suite of online pay-in and payout capabilities across cards, bank rails, wallets, and popular methods like PayPal and Venmo, in addition to a variety of advanced solutions like Pinless Debit.”
Levine is careful to add that “payment performance goes beyond access.”
“It’s acceptance rates, conversion, latency, uptime, integration depth, geographic reach, and most of all, exceptional customer support,” he says.
“We are hyper-focused on bringing best-in-class engagement to the payments industry,” Levine stated, “and ensuring that we continue to distance ourselves from the pack in terms of service and what it means to build long-term partnerships.”
Checkout.com was established in 2009 as Opus Payments in 2009.
