When you’re powering global subscriber experiences for the world’s biggest sports and entertainment brands, the bar isn’t “good enough.” For Cleeng, that meant rethinking payments, not because things were broken but because their ambitions demanded more. “We’d successfully operated with a single PSP across Europe and North America. But as we expanded into MENA, LATAM, and Southeast Asia, we began to see the limitations of that approach,” says Enzo Bermond. Building direct integrations with multiple processors? Too time-consuming, costly, and resource-intensive. Instead, Cleeng partnered with Primer. Now, using Primer’s unified infrastructure, Cleeng can: ✅ Launch and test multiple PSPs without engineering lift ✅ Optimize performance and increase auth rates globally ✅ Automatically fallback to alternative processors on failure ✅ Tailor payment flows to local market needs “Primer enables us to optimize payments at every level, ensuring higher success rates, fewer failed transactions, and a seamless payment experience for our customers and their subscribers,” Enzo adds. 📖 Read the full story: https://lnkd.in/eaEfVkWZ Kailash Madan Félix BERNARD Leon McLeggan

The subscription industry is set to hit $1 trillion by 2028. At the heart of it is Cleeng, a leader in Subscription Retention Management trusted by brands like Big Ten Network, The Weather Channel, and The Tennis Channel to reduce churn, keep subscribers engaged, and grow. Payments are a core pillar of Cleeng's service. As a Merchant of Record, it manages the entire payment process for its customers so they can focus on delivering great content and scaling their business. But as Cleeng expanded globally, new challenges emerged: navigating regional differences, optimizing approval rates, and minimizing friction at checkout. Cleeng needed a solution that provided greater flexibility in managing its payments, the scale to operate globally, and the power to drive continuous optimization. That partner was Primer. Using Primer's Unified Payments Infrastructure, Cleeng can now: ✅ Integrate with multiple PSPs to boost performance across markets and reduce declines. ✅Recover payments and reduce churn using intelligent fallback logic that rescues failed transactions. ✅ Continuously optimize and scale through A/B testing, dynamic routing, and refining their strategy for better results. "Primer is a battle-tested platform built to handle the complexities of global payments." Enzo Bermond, Senior Product Manager at Cleeng, says: "Given the diverse needs of our customer base, we needed a resilient, adaptable solution that could address a wide range of challenges across different markets." Read the press release to learn how Cleeng is scaling globally with Primer. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eVzH62sw Kailash Madan Félix BERNARD Leon McLeggan Benedicte Guichard Kamila Palka Simo @

ICYMI, last week, we announced our partnership with JPMorganChase and its addition to our marketplace of services. Businesses using Primer, like GetYourGuide, can now add J.P. Morgan to their payment stack with just a few clicks, unlocking new market opportunities and boosting authorization rates. Check out the video to hear what our CEO, Gabriel Le Roux, and J.P.

Back in London after a few weeks on the road. One of the highlights was a great session at MPE, where we went beyond the usual payment buzzwords and explored what’s really happening in the industry alongside some brilliant minds from across the ecosystem. We focused on a key shift underway - the changing relationship between merchants and payments. More and more, merchants are unbundling their payment stacks, moving away from rigid, one-size-fits-all models. In parallel, service providers are recognising that full-stack, closed-platform approaches are no longer sustainable, especially for enterprise merchants. The landscape is evolving - and fast. Always a privilege to be part of these conversations and see firsthand how the industry is moving forward. Looking forward to the next one. Fiennes Davey Callum Ludgate Vera A. Matteo Gamba

AI is reshaping fintech and payments in ways that go beyond the buzzwords. Primer’s Theo Spyrides sat down with TNGlobal to explore how AI will allow payments managers to shift focus to more strategic business decisions rather than execution. Some takeaways from the conversation: ✅ AI is enhancing the payments infrastructure to make it smarter and more resilient. ✅ Collaboration—not competition—is key to building better tools and experiences. ✅ The real value of AI lies in making powerful technology accessible to all merchants, not just the biggest players.
