Sabrina Flunkert-Glinzer, CEO at Ratepay:
”Avarda shares our commitment to providing seamless, secure, and localized white label payment methods that empower merchants and enhance customer experience. We are pleased to support Avarda's expansion into the DACH and Dutch markets by enhancing their checkout product with our invoice and direct debit expertise.”

"This partnership with Ratepay marks a pivotal step in our mission to support merchants with brand-friendly, white label payment solutions across Europe.
