ZEN.COM Adds Click To Pay For 1.5 Million Users

ZEN.COM said it has added Mastercard Click to Pay to its payments platform for the 1.5 million consumers it serves across 33 markets, including the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Singapore.

The company said the feature joins existing services that include multicurrency accounts, foreign exchange, instant cashback, purchase protection and everyday payments.

Mastercard Click to Pay lets users enrol a payment card, mark a device as trusted and complete future online purchases at participating merchants without re-entering card details.

The announcement is company-supplied and does not include independent merchant adoption data.

ZEN.COM chief growth officer Lukasz Neska said consumers want simpler financial experiences and described the feature as a way to remove friction from everyday finance.

Mastercard Frames The Feature Around Tokenised Checkout

Mastercard Europe executive Daria Auguscik said consumers expect payments to be as simple, fast and secure as other digital services.

She said Click to Pay combines card-payment convenience with the security of tokenisation.

The integration gives ZEN.COM a card-network checkout feature rather than a new wallet balance or lending product.

It also expands a payment flow that depends on stored credentials and trusted-device recognition, not repeated manual entry at every checkout.

PYMNTS Intelligence said 84% of global shoppers treat one-click checkout as an important factor when choosing where to shop.

A separate February 2024 PYMNTS item said Click to Pay can cut checkout time by 50% when manual data entry is removed.

Transaction Evidence Has Not Been Published

The disclosed facts are specific to product availability, user reach and markets.

ZEN.COM names the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Singapore as covered markets, but the company does not provide country-by-country rollout detail.

The feature may reduce checkout steps for repeat buyers when a merchant supports Click to Pay.

The public material does not show whether ZEN.COM users have already shifted transactions from older checkout flows to the new option.

ZEN.COM did not name participating merchants, publish transaction volumes, disclose conversion-rate data or give a timetable for extending Click to Pay beyond the 33 markets.
