Payment service provider from Germany
GermanyEU Non-European controlledScope verdict
Unzer is headquartered in Germany, but its majority owner is KKR in the United States. A European legal seat does not override ultimate control.
Unzer is a payment service provider from Germany that covers a broad set of payment methods. Alongside online checkout it handles payments at the terminal in physical shops, pay by link, and payment in instalments, so one contract can cover several ways of taking money.
Unzer remains headquartered and regulated in Europe, but US investment firm KKR has held the majority stake since 2020. The company is therefore not counted as European controlled, even though its operating companies remain subject to European rules.
Data and operations
Verified operational dependencies, shown separately from ownership and from the service's core data hosting.
Public website
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.
Incoming business email
Why this matters
Published MX records route incoming business email through Microsoft 365. Correspondent details and message content can therefore enter this non-European provider's systems; MX does not reveal the configured storage region.
