The complementary nature of the partnership is such that Bankable facilitates payments through the provision of virtual cards, and Younited underwrites and funds customer purchasestransacted their customer-facing front-end, while LiftForward takes care of the connectivity of all the stakeholders. The modular nature of the partnership means the checkout flow and underwriting process can easily be tailored for other ecommerce applications via third-party API integration of additional partners.<\/p>\n\n

Bankable, Younited and Liftforward share the common goal to transform the payments and banking system to make it less complex, more transparent, modular, and customer-centric to deliver superior customer outcomes. A single technology architecture can serve many markets globally, with Bankable offering solutions in 32 markets, Younited covering five jurisdictions and Liftforward\u2019s network spanning 20 countries, with many more to follow.
