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.
"Marketplaces will continue to grow in both number and size as
an effective way to directly connect buyers and sellers. SafeCharge
has identified these demanding businesses as strategic clients and
is committed to facilitate their payments ensuring they meet buyers
and sellers needs, are fully secure and address applicable
regulation requirements," said Yuval
Ziv, COO, SafeCharge. "Funzing is an innovative sharing
economy platform and we are excited to facilitate payments for this
fast growing market."
"One of our biggest challenges is meeting the needs of buyers
and sellers that want to use diversified payment options.
SafeCharge has provided a transparent, highly resilient and
always-available payments solution - without passing the complexity
on to us," said Avigur Zmora, Founder, Funzing.
