NEW YORK, Feb. 25, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Verifone, a global leader in payments and commerce technologies, and Unzer, a leading European payment company, today announced a significant expansion of their strategic partnership. This enhanced collaboration integrates Verifone’s advanced hardware portfolio and robust acquiring processing capabilities directly into Unzer’s ecosystem, empowering merchants with a seamless, end-to-end commerce solution.
The expanded deal builds on top of Unzer and Verifone’s existing relationship, with Verifone now the preferred hardware provider for Unzer solutions. Through the integration, merchants can deploy a unified payment solution that spans the entire user journey – from checkout to payout, across in-store and online channels. The solution is powered by the UnzerOne software and Verifone’s acquiring processing, and deployed on leading-edge Verifone payment devices, setting the foundation for long-term merchant success.
Unzer chose Verifone for its distinct combination of continuous innovation and robust security. Launches like the recently expanded Verifone Victa device range and Verifone biometrics showcase the company’s pioneering market approach. Additionally, as one of the payment device providers with the most PCI PTS (Payment Card Industry PIN Transaction Security) v7 certifications, Verifone sets the standard for risk mitigation and delivering the highest level of security.
Unzer’s comprehensive UnzerOne platform powers the user journey. Through it, merchants can deploy new devices, accept online payments, manage and track sales, and receive payouts, all from a single interface. Capabilities like intelligent refunds and automatic compliance round off Unzer’s fully connected commerce experience.
Prasanna Narayan, Verifone EVP, Head of Product, commented on the significance of the partnership: “Verifone continues to redefine the boundaries of payment technology through innovative solutions and adaptable platforms. By combining our new generation Android hardware and acquiring processing power with Unzer’s market-leading software, we are creating a robust payment grid for European merchants. This partnership showcases how our open ecosystem enables partners to deliver distinctive, reliable, future-ready payment experiences that help businesses secure their commerce infrastructure.”

By combining Verifone’s in-store technology with Unzer’s end-to-end payment and software capabilities, we enable seamless shopping experiences and make payments as easy as they should be.”
