Twyp mobile payments app service to close in Netherlands

P2P mobile payments app Twyp is to be closed down in the Netherlands from 15 December 2016 after customers there said they “don’t need or want a separate app to make payments to friends”. Launched by Dutch bank ING in December 2015, the service will continue in Spain where CEO Mohamed de Booij says the “market for mobile banking is different from the Dutch”.
