¡Viva España! Sage Pay Launches in Spain

PR Newswire LONDON, December 17, 2012

LONDON,December 17, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

- Sage Pay aims to help Spanish businesses drive e-commerce through expanded payment options and easy integration

Sage Pay, Europe's leading payment provider today launched in the Spanish market providing online paym ent solutions for small to medium sized (SMB) businesses.

Sage Pay currently has over 40,000 customers in the UK,Ireland and Germany, and the move into the Spanish market underscores Sage Pay's strategy to support SMB growth across Europe.

E-commerce provides Spanish retailers with an efficient way to open shop to a new global customer base, without the traditional trade boundaries. During the UK recession, there was a large increase in e-commerce sign ups, with thousands setting up their own home based online business and a significant number becoming successful. With no physical premises needed and cost effective bulk buying, selling online is the easiest way to begin trading. With the difficult economic situation in Spain, Sage Pay is confident that this trading pattern will be repeated and aim to support businesses to achieve their potential growth and become successful, giving the economy a welcome boost.

Sage Pay's expansion offers retailers a refreshing choice, as a fully independent e-commerce expert located directly within the Spanish marketplace. Until now businesses had limited options through either banks, local gateways with very limited functionality or payment providers located in other countries with little specialist knowledge of the market.

Simon Black, CEO of Sage Pay, commented, "We're really excited about launching inSpain where there is a huge opportunity for businesses to expand both their dom estic and international audiences through e-commerce. We're providing a locally based choice for retailers and a comprehensive, secure solution with unrivalled 24 x 7 telephone support."

"Since our launch 11 years ago we've helped our customers grow from small start-ups to multi-million pound enterprises. We are passionate about the opportunity to support Spanish businesses getting online and advising them on the latest trends and innovations," explained Jorge Sorial, Director of Business Development at Sage Pay in Spain.

Sage Pay's launch into the Spanish market also provides opportunity for UK businesses to expand their offering to a new customer base.
