TrustBuddy AB: Applies for PSD license in Sweden and have decided not to acquire PrestiamociTrustBuddy will not acquire Prestiamoci following a conditional acquisition that was put in place during end of 2014. The decision is in line with TrustBuddy's strategy, announced on the 7th of May (see separate press release), to focus on Northern Europe.
In connection with TrustBuddy’s on-going license application in Sweden, the Financial Supervisory Authority has recently sent the company additional information. TrustBuddy will now require a PSD license governing payment services. The Swedish Financial Supervisory has chosen a line that we recognize from other European markets, and one that may lay the foundation for a European regulatory standard. TrustBuddy welcomes this decision and will hand in a full application for a PSD license during week 25 (starting 15th of June).
