Case Study: Curve achieves £2.5M annual savings and 96% approval rates with Checkout.com

Checkout.com boosts Curve’s approval rates and revenues by 10%

Curve, a UK-based fintech with over 5 million users, needed a fast and reliable payments partner after its legacy provider’s licence was abruptly suspended, cutting off service for 1.4 million customers. Checkout.com stepped in within 60 hours, providing acquiring services and helping Curve restore payment stability while supporting its need for transparent pricing and a scalable setup.

Checkout.com implemented acquiring, Intelligent Acceptance, and Network Tokens, while also advising on local payment methods and entity structuring to lower fees and improve authorization performance. As a result, Curve reached a 96% payment approval rate, nearly 99% excluding insufficient funds, and cut processing costs by seven basis points—driving more than £2.5 million in annual savings.
