“We are pleased to have issued a new Tier 2 bond and view the strong investor interest — with an oversubscribed book and more favourable pricing compared to our previous AT1 bond — as a clear vote of confidence in our strategy and our strengthened market position. The transaction further reinforces our capital structure and provides us with the flexibility to continue scaling, including with larger merchants,” says Christoffer Rutgersson, CEO, Qliro.

He adds: “In 2024, our merchant base grew by over 200 percent, and year-to-date we have already signed more than 100 new merchant agreements, with a continued strong pipeline of new opportunities. Moreover, our initiatives in Norway and Finland have exceeded expectations — clear evidence of the accelerating momentum in our business.”
