Alisa Bank, a digital bank licensed by the Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority and listed on Nasdaq Helsinki, has selected Bits Technology as its strategic compliance and onboarding partner to support its ongoing market expansion. This partnership marks a significant milestone for Bits Technology, reinforcing the company's position as a trusted partner for highly regulated financial institutions.

A partnership built on trust and regulatory excellence

Working with a licensed bank represents a fundamentally different level of partnership. Banks operate under stringent regulatory oversight, extensive due diligence requirements, and carry fiduciary responsibilities that demand the highest standards of compliance, security, and operational excellence. Alisa Bank's decision to partner with Bits Technology follows a rigorous evaluation process, validating Bits' capability to meet the exacting requirements of regulated financial institutions.

"Partnering with a licensed bank like Alisa Bank is a testament to the maturity and robustness of our platform," said Jonatan Klintberg, CEO and co-founder at Bits Technology. "Banks don't take vendor selection lightly. The due diligence, security assessments, and regulatory scrutiny we've successfully navigated to earn Alisa Bank's trust demonstrates that Bits Technology is ready to serve the most demanding institutions in financial services. This partnership validates our position as a compliance infrastructure provider for the future of banking."

Powering secure growth for SMEs across markets

Alisa Bank provides fast and efficient digital financing solutions tailored to small and medium-sized businesses across the Nordics and beyond. By integrating Bits Technology's comprehensive compliance automation suite including KYB automation, workflow builder, AML screening, and streamlined onboarding, Alisa Bank will accelerate its strategic expansion while ensuring the highest standards of regulatory compliance and risk management.

The partnership enables Alisa Bank to onboard SME customers faster and more securely, maintaining the speed and simplicity that defines their value proposition while meeting the rigorous compliance requirements of operating as a regulated financial institution across multiple jurisdictions.

"As we expand into new markets, we need partners who understand the complexity of operating as a licensed bank in a rapidly evolving regulatory environment," said Simon Pettersson, Country Manager in Sweden at Alisa Bank. "Bits Technology's platform gives us the flexibility and automation we need to deliver exceptional customer experiences while maintaining the compliance standards our regulators and customers expect. Their proven ability to work with regulated institutions made them the natural choice for this critical part of our growth strategy."

Turning compliance into a growth engine

Banks like Alisa Bank face a fundamental challenge: how to move fast in competitive markets while maintaining the rigorous compliance standards demanded by regulators and customers. Traditional compliance approaches treat regulatory requirements as friction which is necessary but limiting. At Bits Technology, we believe the opposite is true. When done right, compliance becomes a strategic advantage that enables growth. Bits Technology's complete product suite empowers banks to transform compliance from cost center to competitive differentiator.

For Alisa Bank, this partnership means they can pursue ambitious growth targets without compliance becoming a constraint. They can enter new markets faster, launch products with confidence, and deliver the seamless customer experiences that SMEs expect, all while meeting the exacting standards required of a licensed, regulated bank. In today's financial services landscape, the companies that win aren't those who simply comply with regulations, they're the ones who leverage compliance as a strategic enabler of growth, trust, and market expansion.
