Twisto – “the simplest online payment tool” – has been used by over 1.7 million customers so far, more than 55% of them from the Czech Republic. Twisto account, the company’s main product, is used by over 180,000 customers. Today, the account includes a payment card, a virtual payment card, Apple Pay and Google Pay, Snap – an advanced bill payment tool, and Split – a tool to divide joint purchases. The transaction builds upon KŠB’s long-standing and unique experience, as KŠB is one of just a few firms that provides advice to financial institutions and other entities in this segment of financing.
