THE STORY

Founded in Riga, Paynt is a full-service payment processor building next-generation infrastructure for European merchants. Its flagship products include an integrated soft POS app and a tipping solution that splits gratuities in real-time and pays staff instantly—a game-changer for hotels, restaurants and beauty salons.

Rapyd & Paynt

THE CHALLENGE

Paynt’s merchants demanded fast, reliable card acceptance across multiple countries and channels, yet traditional acquirers were slow to onboard these businesses and lacked the flexibility to support emerging use cases like app-based tip-splitting.

THE SOLUTION

Rapyd provides Paynt with end-to-end card-acquiring, settlement and payment processing, giving Paynt one API and contract for in-person, soft POS and online transactions. Rapyd’s team regularly flies to Riga for “pressure-cooker” whiteboard sessions, helping Paynt adapt flows, optimise acceptance rates and accelerate launches in new markets.
