“Trustly delivered a new record performance in the first quarter with accelerated growth. The Board of Directors and the owners remain convinced that a listing would be beneficial for Trustly and our ambition to list the company remains. However, we have a responsibility to all stakeholders to bring clarity and resolve any outstanding questions from the SFSA’s preliminary assessment. Therefore, the Board of Directors has decided not to pursue the plan for a listing in the second quarter. There is today no time plan set for when the IPO will be completed.

Our focus remains on building the leading account-to-account payments network worldwide. We will now engage in a constructive dialogue with the SFSA while continuing to drive profitable growth for Trustly going forward.”
