Our Mission


About-Payments’ aim is to simplify the selection process for online merchants to find the right payment provider, and to help them optimize their checkout process.

About-Payments strives to become the leading online payment industry marketing platform for payment providers around the globe to increase brand-awareness, generate traffic and create new business opportunities.

Our company

About-Payments officially launched in 2012 with its first version of the platform, but rebranded and relaunched early 2014. The company is based in Vleuten, The Netherlands and is operated and managed by a group of former payment professionals in the field of online and mobile payments.

The reason for creating About-Payments was - and still is - the lack of transparency across the online payments industry. Who are the providers of online payment solutions? What are their differences? What is the online payment culture like in North America compared to Europe etc.
