Klarna launches “Wavy” Peer-to-Peer Payment Service
Klarna Bank AB (publ) is delighted to announce the release of our new free of charge peer-to-peer (P2P) payment service ‘Wavy’, which enables people to send and request money in a secure, fast and easy way.
Wavy enables consumers across 31 European markets to smoothly transfer money (Euros) and split bills amongst friends, colleagues and family members. Consumers can connect their bank accounts or credit cards to Wavy and simply generate a payment link when they want to initiate a transfer. This link can be shared via existing social media channels or directly to a Wavy user. The recipient of the payment does not have to sign up to Wavy to redeem a payment, they can receive it through a bank account. Payment requests can be paid using EU issued credit cards or SOFORT Überweisung and are settled in real-time. Wavy uses 3D animated stickers to illustrate the payment purpose e.g. for last night’s pizza or for shared household expenses.
