Paytrail and Mastercard empower millions of open banking payments in the eCommerce landscape
Today, the largest online payment company in Finland, Paytrail , and Mastercard announce that their collaboration has reached new heights as they’re now enabling more than one million open banking payments every month, led by European open banking leader Aiia , a Mastercard company.

The simple integration with Aiia has made it possible for us to get the solution up and running fast to offer thousands of merchants the opportunity to leverage open banking powered payments.” Katharina Luschnik , Vice President, […]
