Quickpay

Payment service provider from Denmark

Scope verdict

Non-European controlled

Quickpay is a Danish Unzer subsidiary. Unzer's majority owner is the US investment firm KKR, so Quickpay does not pass the ultimate-control test.

How we classify services

Operational dependency warning

Relies heavily on non-European providers

Current public evidence shows 5 non-European infrastructure or email dependencies across 4 providers: Amazon SES, Amazon Web Services, Google, Zendesk. The reviewed operational path is therefore not entirely European.

Review dependencies ↓

Quickpay is a payment service provider from Denmark. It handles credit card payments as well as Apple Pay and Google Pay, and connects to online shops through integrations for many CMS systems or through its API.

Quickpay is still operated from Denmark, but it was acquired by Unzer in 2021. Because Unzer is majority-owned by US investment firm KKR, Quickpay is not counted as a European-controlled payment provider.

Pricing

European credit card transactions cost 1.35 percent plus 0.10 euro, on top of a basic monthly fee.

Observed
A 75.2.60.5 · AS16509

Why this matters

This public website route ends on Amazon Web Services, whose European seller is wholly owned by Amazon.com, Inc. An EU region can provide European data residency but remains under US ultimate ownership. DNS does not reveal the AWS region, the core service's host, or use of the separately operated AWS European Sovereign Cloud.

Why this matters

Published MX records route incoming business email through Google Workspace. Correspondent details and message content can therefore enter this non-European provider's systems; MX does not reveal the configured storage region.
