P27 Nordic Payments Platform to acquire Swedish company Bankgirot

P27 Nordic Payments Platform has on 6 October 2020 signed an agreement to acquire Bankgirocentralen BGC AB (Bankgirot), Sweden’s only clearing house for mass payments. Bankgirot has a central role in the Swedish payment system and handles transactions of a total value of approximately SEK 73 billion per day, including through its real-time payment service BiR, that enables the Swedish real time payment system Swish. The acquisition marks a very important step in P27’s ambition to create one common state-of-the-art payment platform in the Nordic countries.Lars Sjögren, CEO of P27 Nordic
