TrueLayer, Europe’s leading open banking platform, announces its expansion into Sweden with the appointment of former Adyen executive Karl Hagner as its Country Manager. A highly experienced commercial manager, with a focus on payments in ecommerce, Stockholm-based Karl will define and manage commercial strategy in the country, alongside TrueLayer’s Chief Revenue Officer Max Emilson.

“Working in the payments industry, I’m fascinated by emerging trends and solutions that merchants will require to deliver the best possible experiences to meet consumers’ changing expectations. It is clear that open banking is delivering that, with its ability to solve payments pain points in ecommerce, B2B, wealth and fintech,” Hagner commented. “It’s also an exciting time to join TrueLayer as it expands, cementing its position as the open banking leader across Europe. With a strong customer base and proven open banking expertise we can support innovative services that will benefit Swedish consumers and businesses.”
