Dintero: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Dintero is a checkout and payment platform for online and in-store merchants. Its services include payment links and invoices, recurring payments, and a checkout offering payment methods such as Vipps, Swish, MobilePay, Klarna and card brands. Split Payout lets marketplaces divide payments between sellers. The range also covers terminal payments, digital gift cards and loyalty tools. The platform is delivered as a hosted service with an API and integrations for content management systems.

Dintero AS has an address in Oslo, Norway, and holds a payment licence from Finanstilsynet, the Norwegian financial supervisory authority. Norway is part of the European Economic Area, so EU data protection rules apply. Its privacy policy refers to Datatilsynet, the Norwegian supervisory authority, and describes Dintero as a controller. It does not state where data is hosted or name a cloud provider. The sources consulted do not name the majority owner. For a European organisation, the provider is EEA-based, but data residency and sub-processors should be confirmed in the contract.
