About us - Payair

Our story

It all began in 2009.

The founders of Payair Technologies identified an opportunity in the market for scalable digital productsfor banks and financial institutions.

We created and launched a mobile app – called “Payair” – that allowed consumers to shop directly with their mobile phones both online and in stores. At the same time, this app simplified payment process for merchants and made it faster.

The Payair application laid the foundation for our current product portfolio.

Today Payair is a mature fintech company. We are an industry-leading provider of digital payment services across the Nordics.

So what is our super power? We are agile and extremely fast. We work closely with card schemes (Mastercard, VISA, and Amex) assisting issuers and acquirers to build innovative payment solutions.

Our vision is to facilitate a future where all payments are digital and secure.

We are an agile company constantly evolving and always striving to offer our partners and customers the best products possible.
