Yuno and Revolut Business announced a partnership on September 3 that folds Revolut Pay, Revolut’s biometric one click checkout, along with Revolut’s acquiring and gateway services, into a single Yuno integration. Merchants already connected to Yuno can turn on the full Revolut payment stack without writing new integration code, across the UK, the European Economic Area, Singapore and Australia. An online travel agency is the first merchant live on the integration.
Why it matters: checkout orchestration platforms like Yuno exist precisely because merchants have grown tired of building and maintaining a separate technical integration for every wallet, acquirer and local payment method they want to support. Revolut brings a large, biometrically verified customer base, more than 80 million retail users and over 800,000 business customers globally, and bundling its checkout and acquiring into an orchestration layer removes the main cost that has kept smaller merchants from offering it. The original insight is what this does to Revolut’s own distribution problem: a payment method is only as useful at checkout as the number of merchants willing to build for it, and partnering with an orchestrator that already touches 1,000 plus payment methods across 190 plus countries is a faster route to merchant coverage than Revolut’s own sales team could manage alone.
“Checkout is being decided by wallets that make paying feel like nothing, one click, a biometric check, done,” said Juan Pablo Ortega, co-founder and chief executive of Yuno.
The deal continues a trend of card issuers and neobanks racing to become the payment rails merchants build directly on top of, rather than sitting behind a card network alone. It also follows Revolut’s own conditional approval for a US national bank charter earlier this month, part of a broader push to deepen its footprint on both sides of a transaction.
