We are the scale-up that builds the financial services and payment experiences that users love!
When we founded Powens, we set out on a journey to reinvent banking. Along the way, we realized we also wanted to give users control over their data and take financial services to new places.
Ultimately, creating the best apps and making banking, financial services, and payments more user-friendly requires an extensive framework.
With the support of the investment fund PSG Growth Equity ($35M raised in 2022), we strive to build Europe’s number one Open Finance platform, so banks and fintechs can innovate at light speed.
Powens is a trusted partner to over 230 top financial players across Europe. We’re committed to empowering them to build better banking and payment experiences. Together, we’re empowering both consumers and businesses while creating the future of Open Finance.
Powens has above all a strong tech culture and an expertise recognized on the European market. Innovation is part of our identity. It is what has enabled us to open the way to Open Finance.
What drives us is to take up challenges together and to develop use cases: create new products, develop our platform in Europe, or to make a better use of banking and financial data to empower consumers and businesses.
What guides us is our ambition: to design the first Open Finance platform in Europe, to conquer new markets and to revolutionize financial services.
Powens is a multicultural team with 130 employees from all backgrounds. Four values are at the heart of our success.
- We are bold ⚔️
