Payment orchestration provider BR-DGE has teamed up with Fintech firm Trust Payments in order to offer its merchants access to Trust Payments’ suite of Converged Commerce offerings.
The partnership should allow BR-DGE clients to access Trust Payments’ tech, which includes a comprehensive payments platform, risk management tools, Anti Money Launder (AML) and fraud detection features.
Via a single point of integration, BR-DGE’s merchants are able to access a range of payment providers, fraud capabilities and alternative payment options.
Combined with Trust Payments’ smart tools in storefront, payments, loyalty and data management, the collaboration aims to offer a flexible and secure solution to enhance offerings.
Companies are combining various value propositions in order to address the demand for new sales flows.
From alternative currencies to online, offline and mobile add-ons, this concept of Converged Commerce™ is providing merchants with more control, choice and flexibility to create innovative offerings, thus being able to boost sales, improve customer loyalty, while enhancing margins.
Brian Coburn, CEO at BR-DGE, said:
“We are pleased to be joining forces with Trust Payments to offer their technology to our growing list of merchants. Through this partnership, BR-DGE will offer a larger range of payment tools to merchants, empowering them and their customers with reliable, seamless payment tools. This is our latest major partnership as we look to scale our offering with both payments providers and merchants.”
Daniel Holden, CEO at Trust Payments, remarked:
“Our partnership with BR-DGE will open up enormous possibilities for merchants. Our technology will drive better choice and flexibility to tailor and layer e-commerce offerings to remain competitive and grow fulfilling our vision for Converged Commerce™. We are delighted to work together with BR-DGE to help them expand their offering and we look forward to what the future holds as we create payment experiences that customers want.”
The partnership with Trust Payments reflects steady growth in both businesses.
BR-DGE’s scaling of its product offering, along with the launch of new partnerships, means that in the past year, the team has grown by around 50% with YoY growth set to double again in 2022.
The firm also signaled plans to enter the US markets later in 2022.
Trust Payments further noted that it had a positive 2021 and reported a 73% increase in total revenues to £108.7 million, up from £62.7 million the year prior, meanwhile, headcount doubled from 214 to 428 workers across the UK, EU and US.
