Italy’s payment services provider SIA said that Jiffy, its service to send and receive money in real time from a smartphone using the cellphone number, has topped 4.2m users. “A significant increase that makes Jiffy the leading ‘person to person’ (P2P) digital payment service in the euro area and the second largest in Europe after Swish (5m), active in Sweden and ahead of Paym (3.5m) in the UK, added Milan-based SIA, which developed Jiffy with Germany’s GFT Technologies.
Data on payments made with Jiffy shows the average value of a single transaction is about €50, while transfers under €25 represent 40% of the total.
