About Paytrail
Paytrail Oyj is the leading online payment service provider in Finland, established in 2007 and headquartered in Jyväskylä. As a licensed payment institution supervised by the Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority (Finanssivalvonta), it provides the critical payment infrastructure for over 20,000 businesses and the Finnish State Treasury's Suomi.fi service. The company specializes in consolidating various payment methods—including bank transfers, card payments, and 'buy now pay later' options—into a single integrated gateway for e-commerce merchants. Currently operating as a subsidiary of Nets (part of the Nexi Group), Paytrail has processed billions of euros in transactions. Its acquisition of Checkout Finland in 2021 further solidified its dominant position in the Finnish market. The service is designed for B2B customers ranging from small online retailers to large-scale marketplaces and public administration entities, offering specialized tools like the Shop-in-Shop service for complex platform settlements.
