Diners Club International, a subsidiary of Discover Financial
Services and part of the Discover Global Network has signed an
agreement with Nets, a leading payment processor and acquirer in
Europe, to help expand Discover Global Network acceptance in
Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Finland.
Today, Nets offers customers one of the widest ranges of payment
brands in the Nordics, including both local payment schemes and
international payment brands. With this agreement, Nets will work
with current and prospective merchant partners to help provide
increased acceptance of Discover, Diners Club International, PULSE
and affiliate network cards across these markets.
“This agreement is good news for merchants as well as tourists
in the Nordic countries,” says Anne Marie Kindberg, Senior Vice
President and head of Commercial Management at Merchant Services in
Nets. “This is a great opportunity for Nordic merchants to welcome
not only the large volumes of international cardholders that use
these schemes today, but also the potential Nordic cardholders in
the future.”
The Discover Global Network includes Discover Network, Diners
Club International, PULSE and affiliate networks. It has more than
44 million merchant acceptance locations and 2 million ATM cash
access locations across 190 countries and territories. Discover has
established network to network alliances across the globe,
including relationships in China, Japan, Korea, India, Brazil,
Turkey, Nigeria and throughout Europe.
“We are seeing a rise in popularity for the Nordic region as a
business and tourist destination,” said Amy Parsons, senior vice
president of global acceptance at Discover. “Many Discover and
affiliate network cardholders are traveling here, and our agreement
with Nets will provide them with the opportunity to use their
Discover Global Network card of choice at an increasing number of
merchants while visiting.”
