Nordic Fintech Highlights Reloaded | Nordic Fintech Highlights June/July 2024

After a well-deserved summer break, Fintech Daydreaming is back and ready to dive into the latest buzz from the Nordic fintech world! Pål and Ville, alongside our trusty guest co-host Janne Salminen from Helsinki Fintech Farm, are kicking off the new season with a roundup of stories that are making waves in the industry.

First up, Pål breaks down the exciting news of Gimi partnering with Nordea. It’s like the fintech equivalent of a summer fling turning into something serious—a partnership designed to teach the next generation about financial literacy, with a side of cutting-edge tech.

Janne then takes us into the world of AI with AlphaSense, who just closed a whopping $650 million investment round. With a valuation hotter than a midsummer sauna and a deal to acquire rival Tegus, this AI startup is definitely not taking a vacation from making headlines.

Ville wraps things up by diving into the retro-steampunk(ish) world of biometrics in payment cards. Swedish biometrics company Fingerprints and IN Groupe have teamed up to launch a biometric payment card with a fingerprint sensor built in. Imagine paying for your morning coffee with just a tap of your thumb—no PIN, no hassle, no phone, no watch, just the card.

So, dust off the sand from your shoes and tune in for this season premiere of Fintech Daydreaming. We’re back with fresh insights and a little bit of that Nordic flair to keep you ahead of the curve in the ever-evolving world of fintech. Grab your headphones, settle in, and let’s dive back into the deep end!
