5 Nordic FinTech companies to watch out for in 2023

By Gloria Methri

FinTech refers to software and other modern technologies used by businesses that provide automated and improved financial services. The FinTech industry is booming and is perhaps going through the most exciting period in the modern history of financial services.

The Nordic region or Norden encompasses five sovereign states, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden, plus the three autonomous territories connected to these states: the Faroe Islands and Greenland (Denmark) and Åland (Finland).

One reason for the Nordics’ FinTech growth is that residents and citizens of Norway, Sweden, Finland, Iceland, and Denmark tend to be digitally savvy overall, with some of the highest percentages of new technology adoption and mobile banking usage in the world.

Here are five FinTech companies from the Nordics to watch out for in 2023:
