Primer integrates J.P. Morgan Payments, with GetYourGuide first adopter

London, Thursday 27th March:  Primer, the unified infrastructure for global payments and commerce, today announces that it has integrated J.P. Morgan Payments into its platform, as a member of the J.P. Morgan Payments Partner Network. 

This move allows Primer’s merchant clients around the world to integrate J.P. Morgan Payments’ global, end-to-end Commerce Platform effortlessly into their payment stack, creating new opportunities to serve a broader market and improve authorization rates.

Primer enables merchants to seamlessly accept, optimize, and manage payments through a single, unified platform. By consolidating their payment stack, businesses can streamline operations and unlock new opportunities for growth. Merchants can build, customize, and test different payment setups, such as adding local payment methods in new regions or adjusting payment routing to improve approval rates, giving them the ability to optimize their payment strategy to meet their customer needs and market dynamics. 

Global travel booking platform GetYourGuide is the first merchant to integrate J.P. Morgan Payments’ global Commerce Platform through Primer. Looking to better serve its global customer base, GetYourGuide—a client of Primer since March 2024—will now leverage J.P. Morgan Payments as one of its payment service providers, supporting its goals to better serve its US customer base.

“As a global business, localized payments performance is critical for us,” said Arjun Muralidharan, Director of Product at GetYourGuide. “And as our US customer base grows, we wanted to add a provider that our customers were already using as their issuing bank. J.P. Morgan Payments has invested heavily in their technology over the last few years, and it means their value proposition for merchants and travelers is fantastic.”

Working with companies like Primer, J.P. Morgan Payments recognizes the role of payment orchestration and its strategic value for merchants. By joining the J.P. Morgan Payments Partner Network, Primer is expanding its reach, giving merchants access to the world’s largest merchant acquirer. 

Jason Tiede, Global Head, Corporate Development and Partnerships at J.P. Morgan Payments, said, “By integrating with Primer, part of our growing global Partner Network, even more merchants can benefit from payment acceptance while leveraging our global processing capabilities. We are committed to providing merchants with payments solutions that accelerate their growth by enhancing end-consumer experience and choice.”

The J.P. Morgan Payments Partner Network—which has over 80 member companies – brings together J.P. Morgan Payments’ extensive suite of payment solutions and its third-party relationships to help clients build, implement, expand and optimize payments strategies based on their business needs.

“By integrating J.P. Morgan Payments with Primer, we’re giving merchants a powerful service provider in their payment toolkit, one that can drive growth and deepen customer trust. Our open infrastructure connects merchants and partners, creating a seamless, merchant-first ecosystem. This has allowed GetYourGuide to expand, de-risk and broaden its global coverage seamlessly,” said Gabriel Le Roux, CEO of Primer.

For Primer merchants who want to use J.P. Morgan Payments as a payment service provider, the integration will be available across cards, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. The move strengthens Primer’s mission to unify the payments ecosystem, allowing merchants the freedom to build, scale, and optimize their payment strategies.
