Since the launch of the EU Commission’s Second Payment Services Directive (PSD2) in 2018, the adoption and implementation of open banking have been fraught with unexpected challenges and technical hurdles.

In recent months, Safello has experienced increased growth, both in new users and transaction volume. As part of strengthening its leading position and continuing its commitment to offer the widest selection of seamless payment options, Safello today launches Klarna Open Banking. Starting today, Safello’s more than 180,000 users will be able to directly purchase cryptocurrencies from their bank account, using Klarna’s intuitive and secure payment solution.
