Over the years, Opera has expanded its footprint by acquiring or investing in adjacent businesses, including news aggregation, fintech and digital advertising platforms.

Beyond browsers, Opera has diversified into digital content and financial services. Opera News offers personalized news feeds and video content to millions of users, while its fintech arm—Opera Financial Services—provides mobile payments, micro-loans and merchant services under brands such as OPay in Nigeria and Paylater in India. These offerings leverage Opera’s large user base and data analytics capabilities to deliver tailored financial solutions in emerging economies where traditional banking infrastructure may be limited.

Opera’s leadership team is headed by CEO Lars Boilesen, who brings extensive experience in scaling technology companies and driving product innovation. Supported by a global executive team and a board of directors with backgrounds in telecommunications, software development and digital media, Opera continues to pursue growth opportunities through strategic partnerships and technology investments.
