Overview
Scalapay provides a buy now, pay later (BNPL) service for online shoppers. It lets customers split purchases into multiple interest-free installments, while merchants pay a transaction fee. The product works by integrating with online stores through plugins and APIs; at checkout, shoppers select Scalapay, pay over time, and merchants receive payment upfront with Scalapay handling the repayment from the customer. Scalapay differentiates itself with a merchant-focused model that promises zero risk for retailers, quick setup, and documented integration. It reports that offering Scalapay increases average order value and conversion rates, helping merchants boost sales and customer loyalty. The company’s goal is to help online retailers grow revenue and retain customers by providing a simple, seamless payment option that expands checkout conversions.

Trustfull, a leader in Identity Intelligence for fraud prevention, is proud to announce a strategic partnership with Scalapay, a premier European buy-now-pay-later (BNPL) provider. The collaboration will strengthen fraud prevention operations across Scalapay’s extensive network of European markets, leveraging Trustfull’s platform to proactively identify fraudsters and prevent first payment defaults.In 2023, the European BNPL market was valued at approximately $147.6 billion and is projected to reach $272.5 billion by 2029 (Source). This rapid market expansion brings an increasing need for robust fraud prevention solutions that can protect against evolving tactics, including synthetic identity fraud. The Trustfull platform addresses these challenges by offering open-source intelligence insights and real-time analysis on user contact details and location, enabling BNPL businesses to accurately differentiate between legitimate customers and high-risk applicants.Founded in 2019 and headquartered in Milan, Scalapay has rapidly become a leading player in the European BNPL market, known for its commitment to financial accessibility and customer convenience. With millions of customers and a growing list of merchant partners, Scalapay offers interest-free instalment payment options, making purchases more accessible while prioritizing customer safety.Trustfull’s Identity Intelligence engine analyzes hundreds of digital signals—such as email addresses, phone numbers, IP addresses, browser and device data—to assess user risk in real time.

Marqeta has teamed with Credi2 to launch an installment payment platform for European banks. The partnership, announced Wednesday (Nov. 22), combines Credi2’s embedded lending platform with Marqeta’s card issuing offering, and comes amid a boom in popularity for installment offerings like buy now, pay later (BNPL). “Launching new payments solutions is incredibly time-consuming and complex, not to mention the stakes are incredibly high when dealing with stringent regulatory requirements and cross-border payments,” Marqeta Chief Revenue Officer Todd Pollak said in a news release
