Verifone and Unzer deepen partnership to simplify in-store payments
Verifone and Unzer are strengthening their partnership to simplify in-store payments and support the entire merchant ecosystem.
Berlin, February 19, 2026 – Unzer, a leading European payment company, and payment technology company Verifone are expanding their partnership to make in-store payments faster, easier, and more seamless. Together, the companies offer merchants a full payment ecosystem that goes beyond the terminal.
Rethinking the checkout process together
Unzer and Verifone are combining their strengths to provide merchants with a complete solution – from payment terminals to cashier software and beyond. Merchants benefit from faster implementation, simplified operations, and a smoother shopping experience. Verifone contributes its innovative terminals and payment apps, while Unzer provides software solutions, seamless processes from onboarding to payout, and tools that connect every point of sale.
Verifone and Unzer are aligned in our mission to ensure merchants are perfectly positioned to capitalize on new growth opportunities with their payment stack. Our partnership showcases how the joint expertise of two market leaders can power commerce with innovation and efficiency,
Gert Vido, Head of DACH at Verifone.
Strong partnership, clear course: Easy payment – wherever the customers are
Retailers on both sides benefit from more choice and tailor-made solutions: Depending on the model, the Android-based devices range from compact, mobile terminals that fit in a pocket to variants with integrated barcode scanners, long battery life, and stationary and portable options. Features such as contactless payment by card or wallet, digital receipts, and – depending on the model – additional security and biometric functions round out the offering.
Transaction data is transmitted to Unzer tools in real-time and can be used for sales analysis, inventory overviews, and improved personnel planning. At the same time, integrated security and fraud protection mechanisms increase security for merchants and customers.
The partnership strengthens a broader commerce ecosystem: whether a merchant sells in-store, online, via vending machines, or through payment links, the Unzer-Verifone combination ensures everything works together in one connected system. In-store, smart mobile checkouts streamline sales; online, secure payments are fully integrated. Meanwhile, Unzer’s digital tools help merchants manage sales, inventory, and staff across all channels.
Robert Bueninck, CEO at Unzer, says: “Together with Verifone, we provide merchants with a complete ecosystem that makes payments as easy as they should be – from the terminal to the payout and everything in between. Our collaboration brings modern, reliable, and secure payment technology closer to every point of sale.”
First customer momentum already visible
A first example of the partnership in action is FTZ, Denmark’s largest supplier to the automotive industry. The company supplies spare parts, tools, tires, and consumables to more than 11,000 professional workshops through a network of more than 50 locations across Denmark, the Faroe Islands, and Greenland, and employs around 1,200 people. As part of the rollout, payment terminals are being implemented progressively across all company stores; the first 44 terminals are already live. The project demonstrates how the combined Unzer-Verifone solution can be efficiently integrated into existing retail structures and rolled out across multiple locations.
"For FTZ, it is about making everyday operations as simple and efficient as possible for our workshop customers. With Unzer and Verifone, we gain an integrated payment solution that is stable, user-friendly, and easy to roll out across all our locations. This gives us better visibility, faster service, and a smoother payment experience – while strengthening our digital position for the future," says Marianne Kjær, Head of Digital Solutions at FTZ.
