Sweden · Mobile Payment · Est. 2012
Sweden's dominant mobile payment app used by 8M+ people (in a country of 10.5M) for P2P transfers, in-store payments, and e-commerce. Swish transactions clear through the Bankgirot Immediate Payments (BIR) real-time clearing system. Founded by six major Swedish banks, Swish has been a key driver of Sweden's shift toward a nearly cashless society. Payments are initiated via phone number and settle instantly, with merchant payments supported via QR codes and Swish for Business.
