Hello world: 👋🏼 Wavy is live!

The former Cookies team joined Klarna at the end of last year and is now part of Klarna’s product division.
In the beginning of August, Klarna Bank AB (publ.) launched its free of charge peer-to-peer (P2P) payment service called Wavy. Wavy is an app available on iOS and Android in 31 European markets. With two-factor authentication, fingerprint, encrypted data on the device and encrypted communication between smartphone and bank (SSL), Wavy provides a secure method for splitting bills smoothly among friends, colleagues and family members.
How does it work?
- Download Wavy: iOS and Android
- Sign up for free in the app or on the web
- Connect your bank account or credit card
- Wave money to your friends throughout Europe!
You can share a payment link via any social channel, e.g. via WhatsApp, Messenger, Instagram, Airdrop… or you can send or request a payment directly to a friend who is using Wavy.
Why choose Wavy?
The person who receives your payment link 🔗 does not have to sign up to Wavy to redeem a payment.
- If you send money, the recipient will receive a payment link. After clicking on the link, the recipient only has to enter his or her name and bank account information (IBAN) to redeem the payment.
- If you request money from a friend, your friend can pay you back by entering his or her name and selecting between “pay with credit card” or “pay with SOFORT”. The money will be credited to you in real-time! ⚡️
Did someone say stickers?
Stickers are used to express a payment purpose. Regardless of what language you’re using, stickers are useful in adding emotional nuance to text-based interactions 💶 🍕 🍺 ⚽️ 🏡 🎁 💕 🎉.
For now, you will find 9 handcrafted stickers. Many more are coming soon!
This Medium blog will be used to share our thoughts with you and announce new product improvements and feature releases.
