What happened

Checkout.com published selected group figures on 29 September 2026. Annualised net revenue has reached 750 million dollars, up 28 percent year on year on a trailing twelve-month basis, and the company expects roughly 480 billion dollars in total payment volume for full-year 2026 with about 150 million dollars in adjusted EBITDA.

It says it was profitable in 2024, stayed profitable through 2025 and is profitable year to date in 2026. The disclosure puts its enterprise merchant base at more than 1,700, its footprint at 56 countries with 10 acquiring licences, and United States processing volume up more than 120 percent year to date, lifting the US to 20 percent of payment volume from 15 percent a year earlier.

Chief Revenue Officer Antoine Nougué called the milestone not the finish line and tied sustained profitability to a decade of investment with AI at its centre.

Why it matters

This is the clearest scale read available on one of Europe's largest private acquirers, and the direction of travel in it is away from Europe. The volume guidance implies a jump from more than 300 billion dollars in 2025, and the growth engine named is the US, now a fifth of volume. For European merchants and competitors that reframes Checkout.com from a European enterprise gateway into a transatlantic one, and it sets a funding benchmark the listed European acquirers are measured against while Nexi and Worldline defend domestic estates.

The figures are selective and self-reported: annualised revenue is an August month extrapolated over twelve months, the EBITDA is adjusted, and no audited accounts accompany them.

What to watch

Whether the 480 billion dollar volume figure holds in the audited 2026 accounts, whether European volume grows at all in absolute terms as the US share rises, and whether the company converts sustained profitability into a listing or stays private.
