Digiteal

TLDR

Digiteal is a Belgian Fintech that built a payment request and e-invoicing platform certified by the National Bank of Belgium, acquired by Nordic Aera Payment and Identification with Colruyt Group and Credendo as shareholders.

Overview

Founded in 2015 and headquartered in Mont-Saint-Guibert (Wallonia), Digiteal is a National Bank of Belgium-certified payment institution operating across the full SEPA zone. The platform provides e-invoice presentment, electronic payment processing, and open banking integration for businesses.

The company raised EUR 6M total across several rounds, including a EUR 950K European Horizon 2020 grant in 2017 and a EUR 832K capital increase combined with a EUR 200K subordinated loan. Its technology enables structured digital invoices delivered directly to banking interfaces, where recipients can approve payment without manual data re-entry.

Digiteal was acquired by Nordic Aera Payment and Identification, a consortium backed by Norwegian retailers Coop Norge and NorgesGruppen alongside Belgian retailer Colruyt Group and insurer Credendo. This gives Digiteal pan-European distribution across Belgian and Scandinavian retail ecosystems.
