Skipify has announced a strategic investment from Samsung Next, an investment group within Samsung Electronics, to accelerate its Next Gen Digital Wallet.
This move adds Samsung Next to a distinguished list of financial institutions and technology giants that have endorsed Skipify and integrated their cards and accounts into the revolutionary Connected Wallet. Notable among these strategic investors are Amex Ventures, PayPal Ventures, Synchrony Ventures, amongst others.
The partnership underscores Skipify’s unwavering commitment to revolutionising the online and in-store shopping experience, and cements it as a frontrunner in the realm of digital commerce.. At the core of Skipify’s mission is its pioneering product, the Connected Wallet, a next-gen digital wallet designed to unite Merchants, Shoppers, and Financial Institutions seamlessly at the point of purchase.
Carlos Castellanos, investor at Samsung Next, said, “We invested in Skipify because of the potential this seamless and native checkout experience could bring to Samsung users and beyond.
