The challenge

Despite launching their app and platform during the pandemic and lockdowns, Check grew quickly. But as they expanded, they realised their chosen payment service provider (PSP) wasn’t delivering the service they needed. 

These are some of the problems they faced:

  • Their PSP was too focused on credit card payments

  • It didn’t provide the correct reports

  • They couldn’t see the reason for payment failures

  • They had to create new invoices manually

  • They experienced a high fraud rate

  • The service and fees were expensive

  • The feedback on a payment status took too long

As well as helping them easily offer their European customers’ preferred payment methods, they needed a PSP that could provide custom reports and real-time data insights into their payments to keep on top of refunds, chargebacks, and payment failures. 

They also wanted a partner that could help them reduce fraud and notify them of any unpaid invoices or failed payments as soon as possible. 

So, not long after she started with the company, Check’s Finance Manager Annette de Graeff began to look at working with other PSPs.

“We had a lot of challenges, and we could no longer manually manage processes,” she explains. “It was creating a lot of work, and we were losing money. We compared almost all PSPs to find a partner who could simplify and improve our payments infrastructure. That’s how we found Mollie.”

“We had a lot of challenges, and we could no longer manually manage processes,” she explains. “It was creating a lot of work, and we were losing money. We compared almost all PSPs to find a partner who could simplify and improve our payments infrastructure. That’s how we found Mollie.”

The solution

After assessing almost every PSP, Check started to work with Mollie. Here’s how that has helped them:

Easily add payment methods

With Mollie, Check can quickly offer the payment methods their European customers prefer to use. 

“That’s really helped us,” explains De Graeff. “When we were expanding into Germany, we needed to offer PayPal, and we could do so almost immediately. 

“In Dusseldorf, we saw our conversation rate increase by 144% in just two months after starting with Mollie.”

Real-time data insights and reporting

The Check team also uses the Mollie Dashboard and app to track and analyse real-time payments data, insights, and reports. That means they have easy-to-use tools to make refunds, identify fraud, and reduce the number of failed payments.

“It provides way more insights than we previously had,” says De Graeff. “I can see how many refunds and chargebacks we have and quickly assess how much revenue we drive through our offered payment methods. It’s a massive help when we’re trying to learn more about our customers or reduce fraud.”

Seamless invoicing and refund management

Mollie’s systems also allow Check to better manage invoices and refunds. One part of this is running background checks when they process refunds to ensure customers aren’t refunded more than they’re owed. 

“Previously, we couldn’t do those checks,” explains De Graeff, “and it’s vital that we do as we’re working with so many customers. Now we’re working with Mollie, I am 100% sure that we don’t lose money in this way.”

Faster payment notifications and payment links

When someone signs up to Check, they choose their preferred payment method. Then when they get to the end of the month or have spent more than €25 on rentals, they have to pay for the service. If they don’t make the payment, they can no longer use the service until they do.

Check’s previous PSP took two weeks to notify them that a user hadn’t paid their invoice. That meant that someone could potentially use the service for free for a fortnight.

Mollie now notifies Check immediately when an invoice hasn’t been paid by credit card and tells them within two working days for other payment methods.

“It was a big problem for us in the beginning,” says De Graeff. “I believe our reversal rate was 10%. Now it’s 2%. We have also been working on it but that’s also due to using Mollie.”

Working with Mollie also allows Check to send a payment link to a user with an open invoice to get paid as quickly as possible.
