About MobilePay

MobilePay is the leading mobile payment app in Denmark and a major player in Finland. In 2022 MobilePay merged with Norway's Vipps to form the Vipps MobilePay group, but the consumer-facing brand remains MobilePay in DK and FI. Adoption is near-universal among Danish adults. Surfboard supports MobilePay for in-store and online checkout in DK and FI.

How to accept MobilePay on Surfboard

MobilePay runs on the same Payment Methods system as every other method on Surfboard. Enable it per merchant, store, or terminal — through the portal or the API, no re-deployment required.

1

Enable in the portal or via API

Partners flip MobilePay on for their merchants in the Partner Portal, merchants enable it for their own stores in the Merchant Portal, and developers can do the same programmatically through the Payment Methods API. Surfboard handles scheme registration where required.

2

Available everywhere

Becomes available immediately on the channels MobilePay supports — in-store terminals, online checkout, SoftPOS, and unattended where applicable.

3

One settlement

MobilePay transactions roll into the same settlement reports as every other payment method on the platform — no separate reconciliation pipeline.
