“At Northmill we want to improve people’s financial lives. Now, we are also adding merchants to this vision. We will give merchants the tools to offer an amazing experience for the end users, regardless of how or where they choose to shop,” said Tord Topsholm, CEO at Northmill.
“Just like many banking customers, a lot of merchants feel forgotten and put aside, not least after the turbulence of recent years. We want to change that. The market will look very differently in just a few years. The next generation’s shopping will be without boundaries where social platforms, in-store and eCommerce fill the same purpose,” Topsholm added.
Northmill tapped Mikke Selander, co-owner and former CEO of the point-of-sale rocket Ancon, as the new CEO of Northmill Flo.
