London-headquartered payments fintech Checkout.com today said it upped headcount by 15 per cent last year to 2,000 staff. The company also pointed to the diversity of its merchant partners to indicate the robustness of its business, as it released selected financial figures.

Financial Performance

In Checkout.com’s 2025 annual letter, founder and CEO Guillaume Pousaz disclosed some financial figures, while declaring his long-term commitment to the startup he has been running for 15 years. Checkout.com processed over $300 billion in total payment volume last year, a 64 per cent increase on 2024. Revenue grew by over 30 per cent for the second consecutive year. It also said it was EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) profitable for the full year in 2025.

Expansion and Diversification

Despite fears AI was curtailing recruitment in fintech, Checkout.com opened new hubs in San Francisco, Atlanta, and Sao Paulo last year. The fintech said that its top ten merchant partners account for 18 per cent of its revenues, indicating the diversity of its revenues. Checkout.com's merchant partners include Vinted and eBay.
