Mobilepay has released a new application on Tuesday, January 23. According to Mobilepay, the old application can no longer be used, but must be updated to the new one.
If your device has automatic updates turned on, you don’t need to do the update yourself. If the automatic updates are not on, you can find the new Mobilepay in the device’s app store.
According to Mobilepay, the construction of the new application started when Mobilepay and Norwegian Vipps merged at the end of 2022. The company says in its press release that the release of the application has been long awaited.
– At the end of 2022, we received permission for the merger from the EU Commission, and at the same time, the hard work of assembling the services on a common platform began, Vipps Mobilepay country manager Perttu Kröger says in the press release.
The return of Weshare
The new application works in the same way as the old one, but the appearance has been updated.
There is also a happy surprise for those who regretted ending the Weshare expense sharing application. The new Mobilepay application now has a built-in expense sharing function, which makes it easy to track the costs of, for example, a vacation trip.
Improved security
In the new Mobilepay application, we appear under our full name. According to Mobilepay, using a nickname, nickname or invented name is no longer possible.
Mobilepay says that this makes paying more transparent and safer, while making it more difficult to abuse. In addition, you can now block other users in the new application. Last week, Yle told how Mobilepay could have been used in a creepy way in the past.
If the application is used to pay in a store environment, payments are made by reading the QR code at the cash register with the application’s camera instead of a bluetooth connection. In addition, the merchant can make a payment request to the customer by scanning the QR code in the user’s application.
