Trustly and Zalando partner up to power online retail growth in the Baltics
Stockholm, Sweden, June 11, 2021 – Trustly, a global leader in Online Banking Payments, is proud to announce a partnership with Zalando, Europe’s leading online platform for fashion and lifestyle with more than 42 million active shoppers in 20 markets. Through the partnership, Trustly will support Zalando in its expansion into Lithuania, where Zalando recently launched, as well as Estonia and Latvia, enabling its shoppers to pay directly from their bank accounts.
Across Europe, shoppers have different payment preferences, and shoppers in the Baltic states show an especially high preference for Online Banking Payments. By offering a preferred payment method like Trustly, Zalando will be able to localize its offering and increase conversion at the checkout in its new markets.
In addition, the partnership will enable Zalando to offer instant refunds to its shoppers, reducing its administrative costs while improving operational efficiency and boosting shopper loyalty.
Johan Nord, Chief Business Officer at Trustly, says: “Zalando is a true leader in e-commerce, with a relentless focus on its customers. In offering Trustly’s Online Banking Payments and instant refunds across multiple countries, Zalando will cater to local customer needs, while reducing complexity and investment cost by taking advantage of a single technical integration with us. We’re proud to support Zalando in its expansion journey into the Baltics and look forward to a fruitful partnership.”
Floriane Gramlich, Director of Product Payments at Zalando, says: “At Zalando, the customer is at the core of everything we do. We aim to make payment as convenient as possible for every customer and work hard to find digital solutions for every aspect of the fashion journey. Trustly helps us do that, offering a single integration for our various markets and making it easy to launch in new markets quickly.”
