Word of the Year

App-in-app payments
In 2015, we launched our app-in-app payment solution: MobilePay AppSwitch. It was launched together with DSB - the largest Danish train operating company. With MobilePay AppSwitch users can now easily buy train tickets directly through DSB’s app. The Danes embraced the solution in record time and later this year many brands joined in.

The family grows
WeShare is born in late spring, and MobilePay has a baby sister app. In collaboration with Danske Bank, we create a solution for sellers of ‘Hus Forbi’, a street paper sold by homeless people – making it easier for them to sell the paper on the streets. Towards the end of the year, MobilePay welcomes a number of new partner banks in Denmark, providing a basis for a completely new way of doing things.
