This was made possible thanks to an agreement reached between Apple and the EU in July that provides access to third-party digital wallets.
Rune Garborg, CEO of Vipps MobilePay, noted that launching its own solution is an important step in competing with global players: “We are proud to be the first company in the world to offer an alternative to the iPhone.”

The service is already supported by a number of major Norwegian banks, including SpareBank 1 and DNB, and operates in 90% of terminals in the country.
