It supports card acquiring, local payment methods, SEPA direct debit, marketplace payouts, and in-person terminals, with settlement, reporting, and risk screening in the same platform. Pricing is quoted as interchange-plus. Onboarding runs through a commercial process rather than self-serve signup.
