Payrexx: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Payrexx is a payment provider for small and medium-sized businesses and webshops. Its platform handles online payments, on-site payments, donations and payments through platforms, with card and local payment methods. It is offered as an online service and integrated into the merchant's website.

Payrexx AG is headquartered in Thun in the Swiss canton of Bern and is entered in the Swiss commercial register. A subsidiary, Payrexx Europe AG in Liechtenstein, handles market entry in the EEA. The provider's security page states that personal and transaction data are stored on servers in Germany and processed under the GDPR. Payrexx also states that it is PCI DSS Level 1 certified. For a European organisation this is a Swiss provider with data stored in the EU, though the contract and sub-processors should still be checked.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Payrexx

Payrexx is headquartered in Switzerland and falls under Swiss law, including the revised Swiss data protection act. Switzerland is not an EU member, but the European Commission recognises its level of data protection as adequate. Its Swiss headquarters does not by itself bring it under US legislation such as the CLOUD Act.

Data is hosted exclusively in the EU, so Payrexx scores best on data residency.

Payrexx is closed source and hosted by the vendor. The encryption keys and the runtime sit with the vendor and switching requires data migration. Ask about bring-your-own-key, export options and open standards.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs Payrexx together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
