Why Checkout.com?

Prabhat was referred to Checkout.com by a friend who was already working here. With a background in financial risk management, he was curious to see how that knowledge applied to the world of payments.

Joining wasn’t just a career move - it was a leap into something new. 

“The payments industry was completely unfamiliar to me, but the people here made it possible to grow quickly. I had leaders who supported me, and colleagues who shared their knowledge freely.”

That environment offered equal parts fast-paced and collaborative which continues to motivate him. 

“The vision is clear. The direction is exciting. We know what we’re building toward, and that collective ambition drives us to keep improving.”

#No Room for Approximation

Recently, Prabhat has been focused on enhancing the New Merchant Review Process; this has been a critical initiative designed to detect fraud before it enters the ecosystem.

Through deep analysis of merchants’ transaction patterns, online presence, and business legitimacy, the team has successfully blocked high-risk cases - avoiding fines, reputational damage, and financial exposure. 

“We leave no stone unturned. That’s what our operating principle of #No Room for Approximation really means in practice.”

For Prabhat, it’s not just about policies but it’s about precision. And this project is a perfect reflection of Checkout.com’s values in action.

From Risk to Rackets

Prabhat’s love for risk doesn’t end at work. It’s part of how he thinks and moves through life. Whether analysing real-world decisions or strategising over a game of pool, he’s always assessing, planning, and executing with intent.

“I’ve always been drawn to strategy. Pool is one of those games that mirrors my role perfectly, where you rely on reading patterns, anticipating moves, staying three steps ahead.”

So it’s no surprise he’s Checkout.com’s reigning Mauritius pool champion and proud of it. 

“It’s fun, it’s competitive, and it brings people together. The fact that Checkout encourages these kinds of activities makes the culture even more rewarding.”

Creating Culture 

Prabhat’s impact goes well beyond risk. He founded the Social Club in Mauritius, helping boost visibility and engagement across the local team.

“It’s about making work more than work. Bringing people together, creating shared experiences - that builds stronger teams.”

He’s also been recently promoted, something he sees as a reflection of the company’s recognition culture. 

“At Checkout.com, hard work gets noticed. That kind of trust and appreciation is rare and it keeps me motivated to do more.”

Living our Values

The Checkout.com value that resonates most with Prabhat is #BetterEveryDay.

“Our work evolves constantly. Fraudsters change tactics. Risk exposures shift. To stay ahead, we need to keep learning and improving.”

That mindset has helped him catch fraud early, improve systems, and continuously level up. Every challenge is a chance to grow and every insight adds value.

Advice for Future Teammates

If you're thinking of joining the Risk team at Checkout.com, Prabhat has one piece of advice: trust the process and keep learning.

“You’ll work with global brands like Netflix and Samsung. You’ll gain exposure most people dream of. But you have to stay curious.”

He also highlights the rapid pace of the industry: 

“It’s dynamic, and that’s what makes it exciting. You’ll push boundaries. You’ll adapt fast. And the skills you develop here will stay with you for life.”

Shape the Future with Checkout.com

Prabhat’s story is proof that motivation, mindset, and meaningful work go hand in hand. From building fraud defense systems to creating community culture, he’s showing what performance really looks like - measured in impact, not just output.
