A
s a young child into computers,
technology and programming,
I never imagined I would be
involved with setting up a banking
service. It was not my dream job.
Holvi was, however, born to serve a
very real need: I was the founder of
an event that grew into the largest
digital art festival in the Nordics, and
Tuomas Toivonen was the unfortunate treasurer. That, and a number
of other activities and businesses,
showed us that instead of being actually useful, banking was getting in the
way of getting things done. Everybody
had a different idea of how the budget
had been developing, and tying our
finances up with reality was tricky
and error-prone. We tried solving this
in various ways but soon realized that
to do it properly, to do it easily for the
user, we had to do what nobody had
before had the guts to try: to rethink
how banking fits into our businesses,
activities and lives. It was fundamentally broken. We created Holvi to solve
that.
About
Holvi was founded in 2011 in
Helsinki, Finland, with the goal of
rethinking banking services and how
they connect with our lives. It is regulated by the Finnish FSA and has been
growing rapidly since silently opening
to the Finnish market in Autumn 2012.
A European launch is planned soon.
