Our take
Trustly is a fintech platform that makes accepting bank transfers for merchants a simple experience, just like taking card payments. Since 2008 the company has grown from three people to over 900, with several offices across Europe and the Americas.
Trustly is a customer of banks, while its customers are merchants who are charged a transaction fee when they receive payments. Thousands of merchants use Trustly, including global players likes Facebook, AT&T, Alibaba, PayPal and TransferWise.
Whilst bank transfers as a payment method are not that common in certain countries (such as the UK), consumers in other geographies prefer to pay via bank transfer - so there is a real need for what Trustly is offering. The company has made significant expansion progress, secured some highly advantageous partnerships and acquired SlimPay in 2024, as it looks to enhance its payment capabilities.
