Sunrise CEO Andre Krause said: “Sunrise and Yapeal complement one another perfectly. Together they represent reliable, digital, real-time mobile payment and financial services.

“By developing joint business models, we want to provide innovation for digital financial services going forward.”

The company delivers fully-digitalised financial services, online and globally, in real-time.

Additionally, it is said to offer the best exchange rates for foreign currency transactions for free.

Yapeal co-founder and CEO Thomas Hilgendorff said: “Our mid- and long-term objective together with Sunrise is to create new products that make handling money in the digital world even easier by integrating our services.

“Collaborations with strong partners like Sunrise and Visa are clear votes of confidence in the best fintech team.”

Yapeal is the first and only startup to secure fintech licence from the Swiss Financial Markets Supervisory Authority (FINMA).

This licence allows the company to deposit account balances at the Swiss National Bank since it does not deal with customer money.
