STOCKHOLM, March 16 (Reuters) - Swedish payments firm Trustly on Tuesday reported a 42% growth in revenue in 2020, helped by a surge in digital transactions during the pandemic.
The company is planning a second-quarter flotation that could value it at up to 9 billion euros ($11 billion), people close to the matter had earlier told Reuters.
Net revenue for the year rose here to 1.97 billion Swedish crowns ($231.85 million) while processed transaction volumes rose 43% to 190.1 billion.
Founded in 2008 and majority owned by Nordic Capital, Trustly counts PayPal, TransferWise and Facebook among its customers. Trustly allows customers to pay for purchases directly through their bank accounts, bypassing the need for a debit card or a mobile wallet..
