Acquiring
If you accept card payments, you can boost your sales while providing excellent service to your customers. You also contribute to reducing the amount of cash in society, which is beneficial for both the environment and security.
From card purchase to money in your account
Paying with a card is simple, and we believe accepting card payments should be just as easy. Regardless of what you sell and how, with Swedbank Pay, you can offer your customers card payments and expect the funds from the purchase to reach your account quickly.
To accept card payments, you need a card terminal in-store or a online payment solution. But you also need to receive the funds from the card purchase into your account. This is done through an agreement for card acquiring.
With our acquiring, you can:
- Accept cards from the world's largest card issuers
- Receive funds in your account on the first banking day after the payment is made
- Manage everything related to your card transactions in our free web service
