Checkout.com, a leading global digital payments company, has announced its expansion into Canada and the appointment of Zack Levine as the Head of Revenue for North America and Israel. These strategic moves aim to strengthen Checkout.com's presence in one of the world's most competitive payments markets.
### Expansion into Canada
Checkout.com has launched direct acquiring services in Canada, providing merchants with greater control over transaction data, improved authorization rates, and enhanced payment performance. This expansion capitalizes on Canada's position as the ninth-largest ecommerce market globally, with over 27 million online shoppers and a market valued at CA$52 billion[1][2].
The Canadian market is significant for Checkout.com due to its high level of digital commerce activity. Approximately 62% of Canadian consumers shop internationally, and one in five digital businesses earn most of their revenue abroad, aligning with Checkout.com's global growth strategy[1][2].
### New Leadership Appointment
Zack Levine, with extensive experience leading the US sales team and serving as General Manager for Israel, has been appointed as the Head of Revenue for North America and Israel at Checkout.com. In his new role, Levine will oversee the commercial strategy and teams in North America and Israel, focusing on sales, business development, and solutions engineering to help merchants capitalize on the evolving digital commerce landscape[3][5].
Checkout.com is committed to delivering best-in-class payment performance, emphasizing exceptional customer support, high acceptance rates, and seamless integration capabilities for merchants[3]. The company offers a full suite of online pay-in and payout capabilities across cards, bank rails, wallets, and popular methods like PayPal and Venmo[6].
These strategic moves by Checkout.com reflect a commitment to strengthening its presence in North America and catering to the increasing demand for advanced digital payment solutions across the region. Antoine Nougue, Chief Commercial Officer, expressed confidence in Checkout.com's ability to help more merchants meet the growing demand for digital commerce under Zack Levine's leadership[4].
Earlier this year, Checkout.com opened a new San Francisco office to serve merchants across the region, demonstrating its focus on bringing best-in-class engagement to the payments industry[7]. With these latest developments, Checkout.com continues to solidify its position as a key player in the digital payments landscape.
