European payments FinTech Stancer<\/a> has announced its expansion into Italy, marking a strategic step in its broader European growth plans. The move follows the Iliad Group\u2019s recent launch of cloud operations in the country through Scaleway, further strengthening its regional digital infrastructure.<\/p>\n

Stancer\u2019s Italian operations will be led by Alberto Rescigno, who will oversee market entry, local team development, and business expansion. The company aims to target small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), freelancers, and e-commerce businesses with its simplified, omnichannel payment solutions.<\/p>\n

The FinTech offers a unified platform that supports both online and in-person transactions, including Tap to Pay via smartphones. Its model focuses on flexibility, removing fixed fees, long-term contracts, and rigid subscriptions\u2014features often associated with traditional payment providers.<\/p>\n

\u201cItaly is a particularly attractive market, combining the growth of digital payments with an economic fabric in which micro, small and medium-sized enterprises account for 99.9% of all non-financial sector businesses,\u201d said Alberto Rescigno, General Manager for Italy. \u201cOur offering is designed to provide flexible, simple, and transparent services that respond effectively to the needs of these businesses.\u201d<\/p>\n

Italy represents a strong growth opportunity, with cashless transactions exceeding \u20ac500 billion since 2015 and accounting for 46.5% of total consumption. The sector generated \u20ac17.7 billion in revenues and \u20ac9.4 billion in added value as of 2024, highlighting increasing adoption of digital payments.<\/p>\n

Stancer also emphasised its fully European infrastructure, with proprietary payment technology developed in-house and hosted within Iliad Group data centres. This ensures compliance with regional regulations, including GDPR.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis allows all data to remain in Europe and be subject exclusively to European regulatory standards,\u201d said George Owen, CEO of Stancer.<\/p>\n

Currently processing over 250,000 daily transactions and \u20ac1.7 billion annually, Stancer plans to expand in Italy through partnerships with banks, trade bodies, and technology providers.<\/p>\n
