How Nordic Customers Want to Handle Payment Matters in 2025: Digital Self-Service Continues to Grow

New survey data reveals evolving preferences for managing payment matters – and shows that digital adoption is accelerating across the Nordics.

As digital services continue to evolve, understanding how customers want to manage their payment matters becomes increasingly important. Ropo’s 2025 End Customer Survey, conducted across Finland, Sweden, and Norway with 1,237 respondents, reveals clear patterns in how customers prefer to handle different payment scenarios.

Digital channels lead for routine administrative tasks

Online self-service has become the preferred channel for routine administrative tasks across Finland and Sweden:

  • Checking outstanding balance: 66% prefer online
  • Updating billing/address information: 65% prefer online
  • Providing account details for refunds: 63% prefer online

These results reflect customers’ growing comfort with digital tools and their appreciation for 24/7 accessibility. The ability to manage payment matters independently, at any time, has become an expected standard in modern service delivery.

MyRopo supports even complex payment scenarios through intuitive digital channels. At the same time, we maintain accessible customer support – including phone and other digital communication options – to ensure customers can always get the guidance they need.
