Nets announces OP Pivo mobile wallet tie up

OP Financial Group and Nets are teaming up to pilot mobile payments in Finland.

They have signed a letter of intent to make the former’s Pivo wallet available for Finnish Nets merchants, both in-store and online. Pivo users will also have access to a new e-receipt functionality within the app.

“Paying with your mobile leverages the contactless ‘tap and go’ payment experience that many Finns have already adopted and enjoy while shopping. To ensure the same level of ease when paying in-store with your mobile, we will implement a new payment standard using Bluetooth that will give the same payment experience regardless of handset, which will be very similar to when you make contactless payments with cards,” says Sirpa Nordlund, Country Manager for Nets in Finland.
