Payments services and technologies provider SafeCharge International Group Ltd (LON:SCH) today announced that it is providing its payments technology to Funzing, an innovative sharing economy marketplace.
Funzing is a community marketplace that connects hosts that have created unique experiences with members of the public looking for an unusual way to use their free time. The organisation operates across three primary markets including United Kingdom, Israel and Singapore.
This marketplace faces multiple challenges related to payments including:
- accepting payments from global consumers and
- disbursement of payments to hosts.
In addition, the marketplace demands a reliable payment service that is essential to serve its loyal community. Detailed reporting and analytics are key capabilities for optimising the marketplace checkout journey.
