Three Swedish pension funds back iZettle, citing sustainable growth

Swedish pension funds AMF and AP1 have invested EUR 20 million between them in Swedish fintech company iZettle, ahead of a possible IPO later this year. Buying their shares from a Santander venture capital fund, the deal comes hot on the heels of AP4’s first investment in the firm in December via iZettle’s latest funding round.
