TrueLayer, Europe’s leading open banking platform, announces its expansion to Sweden with the appointment of former Adyen CEO Karl Hagner as its country manager. A very experienced commercial manager with a focus on payments in e-commerce, Stockholm-based Karl will define and manage commercial strategy in the country, together with TrueLayers Chief Revenue Officer Max Emilson.
TrueLayer’s expansion to Sweden will continue to grow as demand for the company’s open banking platform, consisting of payments, disbursements and access to financial data. Karl will lead the company’s expansion in Sweden, with a focus on scaling commercial operations and supporting existing TrueLayer customers to expand into the country.
“When I work in the payment industry, I am fascinated by new trends and solutions that merchants will require to deliver the best possible experiences to meet consumers’ changing expectations. It is clear that open banking delivers it, with its ability to solve payment problems in e- trade, B2B, prosperity and FinTech. ” Hagner commented. “It is also an exciting time to join TrueLayer as it expands and consolidates its position as the open bank manager across Europe. With a strong customer base and proven open banking expertise, we can support innovative services that benefit Swedish consumers and companies.”
Karl has extensive experience in payments, having spent almost four years in leading roles at Payment Services Provider (PSP) Adyen, first in Stockholm and later as head of account management in Toronto. The launch of the Swedish operations follows TrueLayer’s latest European expansion, and adds connections to hundreds of banks in Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland and Portugal through PSD2-compatible APIs.
Max Emilson, Chief Revenue Officer at TrueLayercommented: “We gather experts to strengthen our European growth and add experienced leaders in France, Germany and now Sweden.
