In this episode of Mastering eCommerce Marketing, host Eitan Koter sits down with Roee Peled, the Co-founder and CRO of Hoox, a financial tech company making waves in how credit card issuers engage and activate cardholders. Based in Miami, Roee brings years of experience in the fintech space, and today he’s sharing Hoox’s fresh approach to tackling the competition for top-of-wallet status among credit cards.
During their chat, Eitan and Roee explore how Hoox has developed a system for credit card companies to prompt users with targeted offers right at the checkout, boosting engagement without relying on traditional methods like emails or street ads.

By focusing on making smart connections in the payment ecosystem, Hoox is scaling faster and improving activation rates—often by up to 25% compared to the usual methods.
Eitan wraps up the conversation with a look into the future of customer activation, and Roee talks about how Hoox plans to stay ahead by offering low-friction solutions that fit naturally into the consumer’s shopping experience.
