As of today all Seqr users in Europe can pay with Seqr all over the world using NFC (contactless) technology. The Seqr user simply holds the phone near the contactless card terminal to pay in shops everywhere where contactless card terminals are installed. 

The new Seqr contactless technology increases the freedom and independence for our users from old and inefficient technologies and financial services. Contactless technology makes Seqr into a truly global service and also increases the safety for users as a lost or stolen wallet doesn’t have to ruin a vacation or a business trip anymore. Seqr now is a fully global, fully functioning payment alternative wherever you are.

– Seqr is solidifying its position as the standard for mobile payments with the most versatile technology and the largest physical acceptance network of any of our competitors in the global mobile payments market. At the same time our consumer uptake area is by far the largest with 16 countries where the Seqr app can be downloaded, says Peter Fredell, CEO of Seamless.

Payments with Seqr via contactless technology is supported on telephones with Android operative system, currently approximately 80 % of the smartphone market globally.

The number of contactless payment terminals is increasing fast and it has been planned and projected by the card networks that all card terminals globally should accept contactless

payments by 2020. According to card network rules no terminals without contactless technology can be sold or installed in Europe after 2018.

Seqr can today be downloaded by consumers in Sweden, Romania, Finland, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, France, Portugal, Spain, Great Britain, Austria, Ireland, Malta, Luxembourg, Italy and the USA.
