Checkout.com has put a fresh number on its growth story: annualised net revenue hit $750 million in August, up 28% year on year. The figure is based on that month’s revenue and then stretched across 12 months, so it is not the same thing as a full-year result. Still, it shows the payments company moving fast enough to keep its valuation in the conversation.
The company also said it expects to make $150 million in profit in 2026, measured as adjusted EBITDA. That matters because Checkout says it first turned a profit in 2024, and now it’s talking about sustained profitability rather than a one-off bounce. The company tied the improvement to more payment volume and to expanding into more markets.
Checkout, which is headquartered in the UK, operates in 56 countries and holds 10 acquiring licences. It said the US is now its fastest-growing region. For full-year 2026, payment volume is expected to reach $480 billion.
Beyond payments, the company wants to widen its money management offering and accelerate its AI plans, especially around agentic commerce and agentic payments. That is a neatly modern phrase for a business that still lives and dies on moving money efficiently. It also employs 1,700 people, which gives the whole thing a more grounded scale than the marketing would suggest.
The timing is a little interesting too. Checkout released selective group figures just as its two UK subsidiaries, Checkout Limited and Checkout Technology Limited, are due to publish their accounts. The company said a $40 million dividend paid from Checkout Limited to the parent was an internal treasury transaction, not money handed to shareholders. Antoine Nougué, its chief revenue officer, said the return to profitability gives the company room to invest with conviction over the next decade.
My take — AI-written commentary, not fact-checked reporting
Checkout is doing the classic payments-company move: talk numbers, then tuck the messy bits into “internal treasury transaction” and “selective figures.” Fine, but at least this one is pairing the polish with actual profitability instead of pure growth theatre. That already puts it ahead of a lot of fintechs that mistake a slide deck for a business.
