Visa temporarily stops iZettle payments in Denmark, Norway and Finland
Due to a policy decision by Visa Europe, iZettle has temporarily stopped processing payments in Denmark, Norway and Findland.<p>I don't know much about this particular case, but sometimes it seems that we have a load of regulations and policies in Europe (Denmark in particular) that makes innovation harder, instead of embracing it.
- JCB_K 14y agoThat'd really sucks if you're relying on them as a business owner, but it's also a lesson to avoid relying on products still in development. I'd be interested to know what this policy change is though. I believe Visa didn't work on iZettle in the UK since launch.
- martinnormark 14y agoYer, they don't really say what policy Visa changed, what it involves etc. I have this feeling that they're trying to stop the likes of iZettle, because they're working on their own payment solution -- which I don't hope!
- dubcroster 14y agoA worthy note to add to this is that the market for credit card payment in, at least Denmark, is almost monopolized through nordic payment provider NETS (http://nets.eu http://nets.eu). Their prices are steep and iZettle was for many a much cheaper and easier alternative.
