By GlobalDataAccording to Seamless, SEQR allows merchants to bypass credit card companies and cut transactions costs in half.
Peter Fredell, CEO of Seamless commented: "In just a year, SEQR has become the most used mobile payment solution in stores and online in both Sweden and Europe.
"That another country-wide network of stores such as EMAB now chooses to offer SEQR is further evidence of our offering of an attractive method of payment".
Once customers download the SEQR app, available on both iPhone and Android, payments are completed through scanning a QR-code displayed at checkout and confirming the payment by entering the customer’s personal PIN.
