Bus/Financial - Finance (general) / debit card service
Swedish term or phrase: kortinlösen
Does anybody know what the translation for 'kortinlösen' is. It is a banking service provided by Swedbank but I'm not sure what it means. Card processing?

card acquisition


Explanation:
This is standard in the industry. I can give you the docs I've done for Swedbank Card Services AB before....if this is your context.

btw, not that Yahoo is an authoritative source, it just says it plain and simple.

Should be "processing of a credit card transaction" as everyone refers to a credit card, debit card, or other payment card as a credit card.
