About LoopingOne
LoopingOne was founded last year by Bob Voermans, Mark van der Sluis and Freek Dix all of whom are industry veterans, having collected years of experience at fintechs and e-commerce companies such as Ingenico, PayU and G2A. Prior to LoopingOne they built a team of payments specialists that help merchants around the world improve their payment strategies. In doing so they came face to face with the challenges that marketplaces encounter in regards to regulation, KYC and merchant lock-in.
