Mobilepay may become chargeable

Mobilepay may become chargeable, says the director of the Danish company Claus Bunkenborg of a Danish business magazine In an interview with Børsen.

– It is of course possible, but not in the way that it would come into force immediately, he says in an interview with Børsen.

Bunkenborg, however, states in the same context that the service becoming paid may drive some customers away from the application. Among other things, a model similar to the Spotify music service is under consideration: some services are free and some can only be obtained for a fee.

Danish financial magazine Finans again knows to tell you that in the Norwegian bank’s corresponding Vippit application, transferring money cost one Norwegian kroner per transfer in connection with the launch in the spring. So something similar can be expected.

Ekstrabladet according to Mobilepay has been operating at a loss for years, and no change for the better is expected.

Mobilepay was founded in 2013 and operates in Norway, Finland and Denmark. Mobilepay just closed another Weshare application, where you could share expenses between several payers.
