  • PAYMENT – Klarna Launches an Open-Banking Offer

    Klarna launches their Open-banking platform streamlining accesses to over 4,300 banks on 14 EU markets through a single interface and via their XS2A account access API. This platform covers information (AISP) and payment initiation services (PISP).
