The story

Founded in 2018 in Finland, ReceiptHero built an open ecosystem for digital receipts, replacing paper receipts by linking structured purchase data to payment card transactions. The company expanded from a domestic Finnish market to Sweden, Germany/DACH, and Switzerland by 2023, partnering with POS providers, payment processors (Worldline), and card schemes (Eurocard/Mastercard) to embed its receipt delivery infrastructure into existing payment flows. ReceiptHero positions itself as infrastructure connecting merchants, PSPs, card networks, and consumer applications — not as a consumer app or POS system itself.
