The Danish company Nets A/S is a world leading supplier of digital payment services and is listed on the Copenhagen Stock Exchange. Nets A/S is also indirectly owned by the Swedish e money institute DIBS Payment Services AB, and thus the acquisition and the change of ownership is conditional upon prior approval of the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority.
