Nordic Fintech Week

We’re thrilled to share a fantastic interview with Ingjerd Blekeli Spiten, EVP Retail & Wealth at Jyske Bank, recorded during Nordic Fintech Week! The conversation explores how digitalization is reshaping retail and wealth, the competitive pressure from international players and fintechs, and why trust and security remain core strengths for European banks. Ingjerd also highlights the responsibility to support non‑digital customers, the potential of biometrics and AI to simplify journeys, and the value of co‑creating with customers so real adoption validates the investment. Big thanks to Ingjerd Blekeli Spiten and SpeakerBee for making this interview possible 🤝

We’re excited to feature one of our #NFW25 partners, Nexi Group, with this new blog post 🤝 The Nordics lead in digital finance, and a new wave of consumers is raising the bar. Gen Z, Gen Alpha, and millennials expect instant onboarding, personalized experiences, and seamless payments across channels. The shift is from cards to digital ecosystems: instant issuing, BNPL, travel perks, sustainability tools, delivered via modular platforms and open APIs. But trust remains the anchor: real-time alerts, strong fraud prevention, and simple controls are now baseline. 👉 Read the full blog here: https://lnkd.in/dVH7wMhd

What a vibe at the very first Fintech Padel World Cup during Nordic Fintech Week 2025! 🎾🔥 32 teams, 64 players, four packed courts, and endless energy on and off the sidelines, this tournament brought together competition, teamwork, and plenty of laughter. From hard-fought rallies to cheering colleagues, it was all about the community spirit that makes fintech so unique. 💙 Thank you to everyone who joined, played, and supported, you turned this debut into an unforgettable highlight of the week. Here’s a glimpse back at the action!

🎤 Live in Copenhagen – Two Hours on the Fintech Backstage Couch! This year Pål and Ville set up shop in the official backstage of the Nordic Fintech Week event venue – meaning our little “studio” has probably seen more rock stars, comedians, and magicians than fintech podcasters. But for two days, it was home to us… and the now famous podcast couch. On that couch we hosted a parade of fintech’s brightest people – founders, authors, bankers, thinkers – all crammed into one room with us, the noise of the conference bleeding through the walls, and way too little coffee. The result? The longest Fintech Daydreaming episode ever recorded – nearly two hours of conversations, debates, and jokes that we just couldn’t cut down. (Turns out once you get fintech people comfortable on a couch, they don’t want to leave.) Across those two hours, you’ll hear from: .- Thomas Hahn-Petersen (Copenhagen Fintech) on why Copenhagen is buzzing. .- Philippe Höij (DFRNT) on shaking up investing. .- Jakob Lage Hansen (DoLand) and Ulrik Koefoed Johnsen 🔸 (Giv Effektivt) on impact and giving. .- Kim Norbye (Nexi Group) and Paolo Sironi (IBM) on future rails of finance. .- Leda Glyptis PhD with her trademark truth bombs. .- Panagiotis Kriaris (Unzer) and Lotta Domonkos (Fimento ) on payments and platforms. .- Daniel Alter (Enfuce), Ronit Ghose (Citi), and Rune Krogh Kallehauge (Mastercard) bringing the global view. .- Christie H. Kristensen (Danske Bank), Veikko Koski (FinanceKey), and .- Wassa Camara (Copenhagen Fintech) closing out the Nordic perspectives. It’s raw, it’s noisy, it’s almost two hours long – but if you want to get into the buzz of Nordic Fintech Week this does it better than any LinkedIn highlight reel you saw before.
