NBX and Adyen partners on payment services

Oslo 29 April 2022 – Norwegian Block Exchange AS (NBX), the first publicly listed crypto exchange in the Nordics, has today signed an agreement with the payment company Adyen. The agreement allows NBX customers to purchase crypto currency on the NBX platform using mobile and card payments.

NBX aims to give people access to crypto currency in a safe and user-friendly way. Allowing payments with the most used payment methods on mobile and cards is a step towards a hassle-free access to crypto currency.

– We aim to make crypto accessible for all. When you purchase something online you expect to be able to pay with mobile or card services. We look forward to offering this to our customers in the near future, says NBX CEO Stig Aleksander Kjos-Mathisen.

Adyen is a leading Dutch payment company that allows businesses to accept e-commerce, mobile, and point-of-sale payments. The company is listed on the stock exchange Euronext. Adyen offers payment services in EU/EEA, USA, Australia, Brazil and a long list of other markets around the globe.

As one of the first crypto exchanges in Europe to be able to accept mobile and card payments, NBX has been through a thorough audit from Adyen. – It’s reassuring to see the effort put into the process from Adyen’s side. As a global leader in payment services, they know first-hand what is expected from regulatory bodies across markets. Knowing that we can comply with these standards is of importance to us, says CFO of NBX Torstein Thinn.
