Lahore: Pakistan, August 21st, 2025: Payoneer (NASDAQ: PAYO), the global financial technology company powering business growth across borders, announced a strategic partnership with programmable financial services company Stripe. The collaboration marks an expansion of Payoneer’s Online Checkout offering for cross-border merchants looking to sell direct-to-consumer.
The upgraded Payoneer Checkout capabilities, powered by Stripe’s best-in-class technology, will first launch in key Asia Pacific (APAC) markets, including Pakistan, Vietnam, South Korea, China, and Hong Kong. These enhanced features will empower Small and Medium-sized Businesses (SMBs) to accept a broader range of payment methods via their online webstores. Options will include Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) services like Affirm and Klarna, as well as digital wallets such as Apple Pay and Google Pay.
In the three years since launching Payoneer Checkout, the company has scaled from zero to nearly $1 billion in run-rate annual volume, demonstrating rapid market adoption and strong customer demand. Over the last twelve months through June 30, 2025, the business has generated $30 million in revenue, representing over 100 percent year-over-year growth.
“We are committed to simplifying cross-border online trade for SMBs across Asia Pacific and beyond,” said Nagesh Devata, Senior Vice President, APAC at Payoneer. “This partnership with Stripe is a strategic step in our journey to expand our Checkout offering and deliver a best-in-class user experience at scale.
