Working in the FinTech industry is extremely interesting when you get to see and do new things. This year we worked with plenty of new innovations, such as...

» Launching a ledger-free network: Roboblock
» Automating Trading Processes with FA Solutions and Infront
» Combining Asset Management and Debt Management into a single platform for Kommuninvest
» Introducing functionalities known from everyday life but never seen in the financial industry

"The year 2016 was again a great year of growth. In one year, we were able to grow into six new countries and get new clients also in our Nordic home market. We did new releases for the FA Platform itself and also developed a variety of new extensions. We had a great pleasure to get into new partnerships where we see future growth potential in many markets. FA Solutions has been growing also by the new, talented employees, and this will continue in 2017. The turnover of the company grew close 50 % p.a. in 2016 and this is the third year now in a row with a similar growth rate. The company is profitable and has a solid financial situation and excellent ratings. The outlook for the fiscal year 2017 is very promising. "
