Respected financial technology entrepreneur Andy Khawaja is the founder and CEO of Allied Wallet, one of the world’s largest online payment system providers. Backed by decades of international business experience, Andy Khawaja leverages his understanding of diverse customer needs to establish his company in overseas markets in Europe, including Italy.

In 2013, Italians spent more than $9 billion shopping online. A widespread preference for home deliveries has driven the growth of the e-commerce market in Italy.

While the majority of Italians have bank accounts, just over a third have a credit card. To better serve the people of Italy, Allied Wallet recently added these four online payment options that are popular with Italian consumers:

– MyBank, with more than 40 million users across Europe, this option enables customers to pay directly from their checking accounts.

– Trustly offers similar services and is available in 29 European countries.

– Seqr offers mobile payment options and 3-percent cash back on all purchases.

– Klarna offers flexible payment options for online purchases, including biweekly installment payments and a 30-day payment-free trial period.

These options will help increase the value of online sales in Italy, which is expected to triple by the year 2022.
