Launched in 2013 in Romania, SEQR currently supports payments in 2,000 places – in person and online.
"With the new NFC technology – so-called contactless – the number of payment points that accept SEQR will soon increase significantly," Seamless said in a statement.
Seamless CEO Peter Fredell added: "The agreement with Raiffeisen Bank further strengthens our position in Europe. We are seeing a strong increase in demand among European consumers regarding mobile payments. By offering its customers the possibility to use SEQR, Raiffeisen Bank and other European banks can meet this need in a manner that is profitable and fast, without the need to build expensive proprietary solutions that take a long time to develop."
Raiffeisen Bank department manager of value proposition directorate Florin Boldescu said: "SEQR will be an important part of our customer offering. The demand for paying by mobile is large and growing."
