Anton Stadelmann becomes CEO of Bluecode

Bluecode is growing rapidly. In recent months, more banks and retailers have become partners of Bluecode. Now the company is bringing Anton Stadelmann on board as its new Chief Executive Officer. Anton Stadelmann is a pioneer of European payments and has built up the Swiss payment solution TWINT in recent years and established it as a market leader. Stadelmann was also actively involved in the founding of the European Mobile Payment Systems Association (EMPSA) and led it as Chairman.

Anton Stadelmann: Experienced in e-payment

"Building Bluecode into the leading mobile payment solution that creates a great customer experience together with banks and retailers is something I am passionate about. I am very excited about this new task," says Anton Stadelmann.

As Executive Chairman of Bluecode, Christian Pirkner will remain responsible for the strategic direction of the group and will increasingly focus on the development of European payment interoperability. "I am enormously pleased that we were able to win Anton Stadelmann for Bluecode. He has a lot of experience in European payments and has developed a mobile payment system into a market leader with his convincing work and extensive network. He now brings this expertise to Bluecode, and together we will lead Bluecode into the next phase of growth."

Independent mobile payment solution

For Europe's banks and merchants, Bluecode represents the independent mobile payment solution. In many European countries, banks and merchants have not yet established an account-based mobile payment solution in their own apps. The Bluecode platform enables retailers and the banking industry to implement a technically, legally and commercially independent mobile payment solution quickly and cost-effectively. Bluecode partners retain the master data of their customers, control the customer journey from their own apps and have commercial sovereignty over the business model. At the same time, they benefit from low investment costs and the agile innovation power of the Bluecode platform. Anton Stadelmann sees great potential in Bluecode: "Bluecode is in an excellent position to attract customers to mobile payments. Bluecode's areas of application are extremely versatile and create added value for users. Bluecode also offers a unique opportunity for banks and retailers to shape the customer experience from within their own apps. I am very excited to grow with Christian and the Bluecode team and bring more application areas to the market."
