Trustly Announces Major Move to Guarantee Growth for Businesses Across Europe

Trustly announced a bold pledge to boost growth for businesses across Europe. In a major move to revolutionise the checkout experience for millions of people, the payments tech firm unveils the new Trustly Growth Guarantee.

The market-leading account-to-account provider is offering clients – current and new – a fresh way to pay at the checkout. As part of this, businesses are guaranteed to see an increase in conversion rates, to as high as 98.8%, and a clear reduction in the fees they pay in comparison with traditional payment methods.

Customers will enjoy fewer steps to pay and the added efficiency of return user recognition; Trustly guarantees supercharged success at the checkout. With predictable pricing, costs will be just one amount per transaction – with no variable fees at all. Trustly also states that it is dedicated to providing a seamless integration and will include Success Concierge as standard.

The initiative, revealed only a matter of days after impressive 2023 growth results were announced for the global leader in the industry, reflects Trustly’s unwavering confidence and commitment to continuing to innovate account-to-account payments. Last week, Trustly announced a 79% increase YoY in annual transaction value – reaching $58 billion in total.

Its track record for already attracting major global clients – some examples being Meta, eBay, HMRC, Zalando and Hargreaves Lansdown – signifies that there’s been a distinct change in customer preference and merchants priorities.

Businesses are making attempts to remain innovative and ahead of the curve as millions of consumers increasingly adopt open banking-enabled account-to-account solutions instead of other more standard options when they pay.

Jussi Lindberg, Chief Revenue Officer of Trustly Europe, said: “Our market-leading payment setup embodies Trustly’s mission: to be a growth partner for our clients. We don’t just provide payment solutions; we drive efficiency and value in their businesses. Trustly Azura has delivered remarkable results, and now businesses can experience its benefits. Account-to-account payments are booming, and we’re here to help businesses seize the opportunities it offers.”

If merchants do not see a boost in conversion or a drop in payment costs – at a processing rate of at least 50K transactions each month, for three months, Trustly will reimburse three months’ worth of processing fees. The guarantee is available for both new and existing European customers and is subject to Trustly’s general terms & conditions.

The “Europe Sports Betting Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report by Type, Platform, Sports Type (Football, Basketball, Baseball, Horse Racing, Cricket, Hockey, Others), Country, and Segment Forecasts, 2024-2030” report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.

The Europe sports betting market size is anticipated to reach USD 65.54 billion by 2030 and is expected to expand at a CAGR of 9.9% from 2024 to 2030

The globalization of sports and the integration of international leagues and tournaments into European betting markets have fueled the growth of sports betting. Major sporting events such as the FIFA World Cup, UEFA European Championship, Wimbledon, and the Olympics attract widespread attention and betting interest from European consumers, driving significant betting volumes and revenues for sports betting operators, thus driving the growth of the sports betting market in Europe.

The COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on the European sports betting market. The cancellation or postponement of sports events during the pandemic restrained the market growth. With major tournaments, leagues, and competitions either suspended or canceled outright, the absence of live sports events severely diminished consumer betting opportunities. It led to a significant decline in betting volumes and revenues for sports betting operators.

Many European countries, such as the UK, Ireland, Denmark, and France, have progressive policies promoting a competitive and well-regulated betting market. It facilitates the entry of new operators into the market and encourages competition, leading to innovation, improved services, and better value for consumers.

Moreover, established responsible gambling initiatives and regulatory bodies in Europe, such as the European Gaming & Betting Association, help build trust and confidence among consumers by promoting responsible gambling practices, ensuring fairness and transparency in betting operations, and providing avenues for dispute resolution, to protect consumers and maintain the integrity of the betting market, thus driving the growth of sports betting market in the region.
