CEO and founder at Vehiculum, Lukas Steinhilber “A dashboard that gives me an overview of how our business is doing, is definitely a feature that is valuable to have when running our startup. That instant overview of my business’ financial health will save me a lot of time.”
CXO at Hufsy, Maria Flyvbjerg Bo “Hufsy is a banking platform and financial tool for startups, developed by a startup. We know the pain of handling finances, doing accounting and reporting tax, which is why we believe we can do it better than the traditional banks.”
CCO & Co-Founder at solarisBank Marko Wenthin “Especially in the beginning, startups are well-advised to focus mostly on their product. To work with a banking partner, who takes care of all regulatory and industry specific tasks while having the same startup mindset, is a huge advantage for young companies. We are glad to empower innovative solutions like Hufsy as their fully licensed banking partner.”
Fintech expert and Hufsy Chairman Frank Schwab “A couple of years ago most fintechs focused on consumer banking. This trend has changed and we now see more services targeting businesses. The SME segment has been neglected but this is changing.”
