Pan-European Infrastructure Launches
Santander-owned Getnet has introduced a payments platform designed for multinational merchants, marketplaces, and e-commerce operators across Europe. The infrastructure connects businesses to payment services in more than 30 countries through a single technical integration.
The platform leverages Getnet Single Entry Point (SEP) to link merchants with multiple markets and provide access to region-specific payment methods. These include Bizum in Spain and MB WAY in Portugal, where Getnet holds direct membership status.
Capabilities and Geographic Reach
Beyond payment acceptance, the infrastructure enables merchants, platforms, and payment service providers to handle fund collection, balance reconciliation, currency conversion, and cross-border payouts. The service currently supports 20 currencies and facilitates payouts to 140 countries.
The launch extends Getnet's footprint beyond its existing operations in Latin America, Spain, and Portugal, the company noted. Getnet Europe CEO Rubén Justel characterised the move as a strategic expansion.
This expansion marks a new chapter for Getnet in Europe. Businesses can access multiple markets through a single integration, with transparent pricing and dedicated support. Our goal is simple: help companies grow internationally while improving payment performance.
Partner Ecosystem and Technology Roadmap
Getnet is building a partner network that includes payment service providers, technology firms, and software vendors. The company is also directing investment toward instant payments, account-to-account transfers, and AI-powered commerce solutions.
The firm recently completed Latin America's first agentic transaction using Mastercard Agent Pay technology, demonstrating its focus on emerging payment technologies.
Transaction Volumes and Strategic Positioning
Getnet processed more than €238 billion across 10.5 billion transactions in 2025, according to company figures. CEO Juan Franco framed the European expansion within a broader global commerce strategy.
The future of commerce is increasingly connected, intelligent and international. Europe plays a key role in connecting businesses across regions, including Latin America, North America and Asia.
The company views its European capabilities as a bridge for merchants, platforms, and partners seeking to operate across multiple continents, Franco added.
