Azimo and Trustly have partnered to facilitate cross-border payments in Europe.
Azimo is a money transfer service that aims to be the best way to send money to more than 190 different countries around the world. Trustly is an open banking platform targeting the payments sector. According to a release, the partnership will enable customers to pay in a fast and secure way.
Dora Ziambra, Chief Operating Officer at Azimo, said that many of their customers, particularly in the Nordic region, prefer to pay directly from their online bank:
“By offering Trustly, we help customers send money to their loved ones even more quickly – with even less friction.”
Trustly is said to be available to all Azimo customers sending from the Nordics, the Baltics, Germany, Austria, and Poland. Unlike traditional payment methods, customers don’t need to enter card numbers or bank details manually. All they have to do is log into their online bank and approve the payment.
Luca Giannone, Director of Financial Services at Trustly, commented:
“Open banking is on the rise, and people across Europe increasingly prefer to pay directly from their bank accounts. Azimo is keenly focused on offering the best customer experience possible, and we’re proud that Trustly’s open banking payments are now a part of that.”
