GoCardless partners with Celigo as FinTech firm looks to scale indirect customer acquisition globally

Bank payment company GoCardless has announced a partnership with integration and automation platform Celigo.

Leveraging Celigo’s integration platform (iPaaS) will enable GoCardless to build integrations between its payment platform and the back-end systems commonly used by businesses today.

The aim here is to open up new opportunities to acquire customers in all of its markets, without the need to build custom integrations into hundreds of platforms. 

The partnership will allow businesses to incorporate GoCardless bank payments into the software they use everyday, from finance and procurement tools to shipping and fulfilment platforms, allowing merchants to automate and optimise business processes while benefiting from a faster, cheaper and more secure way to get paid.

Seb Hempstead, VP of Partnerships at GoCardless, says: “We’re excited to work with Celigo to scale our indirect go-to-market strategy.”

“This partnership allows us to easily plug into hundreds of apps, bringing bank payments to thousands of potential customers around the world. We look forward to working with Celigo to help businesses simplify their operations, saving them time and money.”

Gert-Jan Wigman, VP and General Manager at Celigo EMEA, says: “Celigo prides itself in making sophisticated integration capabilities available to businesses of any size by enabling them to connect their tech stacks without complex custom development.”

“By using our iPaaS, GoCardless can offer its best-in-class payment solutions to more clients with less internal effort. We're excited to work with GoCardless in its effort to provide seamless payment experiences and more value to its customers as it expands its reach across all markets.”
