The collaboration will enhance Mangopay’s payment infrastructure capabilities. In addition, it will enable B2B marketplaces to scale their payment capability and foster growth using Hokodo’s offering.
Raphael Caruso, director of Strategic Projects & Partnerships at Hokodo, commented: “The success of a given marketplace relies partly on providing buyers and sellers with a payment experience that they cannot replicate off-platform. Business buyers expect payment terms, while suppliers want to get paid upfront.
