Akurateco’s 2022-2023 development strategy When talking about Akurateco’s development strategy throughout 2022 and 2023, the company looked to not only expand its presence but also its offering. In February 2023, it announced that it received certification for its integration with international payment provider Elavon, a US Bank subsidiary, following which transaction processing via Elavon’s system was enabled.

In November 2022, through a collaboration with financial infrastructure platform for businesses Stripe, Akurateco made public integrations with both Apple Pay and Alipay. By doing so, the company aimed to expand the list of payment methods for its customers and enable them to accept one-time and recurring payments in a secure manner, aiming to improve the customer experience and make the checkout process increasingly fast and secure, while simultaneously gaining revenue. Come the end of October of the same year, the company integrated with Qenta with the goal of improving client business coverage alongside market share.
