Dify is the fintech arm of Opera, offering its 50 million EU users an in-browser cashback service and digital wallet for online shopping.
Paul Andrews, vice president at Opera, comments: “Millions of people use Opera browsers to shop every day, so it is paramount for us to look at innovative ways to enhance this experience. We have to date launched integrated Dify cashback and coupon solutions, and we see the importance of including BNPL within our ecosystem."
