The Cloud, The Branch, and The Algorithm | Nordic Fintech Highlights August 2026 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Welcome back to another edition of Nordic FinTech Highlights! This month, Pål and Janne are joined by a heavily jet-lagged Ville, who is battling through Zoom technical gremlins after an eight-day trip to the US West Coast. Fresh off a stateside marathon of exceptional progressive house and trance music, Ville powers through to help cover the biggest August headlines across the Nordic fintech landscape. In this episode, we break down: Avanza’s Algorithmic Ambitions: A look into Avanza Sigma, a n
Do AI Agents Dream of Electric Bank Accounts? with Rolf Jensen from Lunar (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Here at Fintech Daydreaming, we pride ourselves on the unedited, "live" feel of our recordings. Over the years, our listeners have been treated to everything from a hotel maid walking in on Ville, to New York police sirens, to Ville's automatic hydroponic garden sounding suspiciously like someone taking a bathroom break off-camera. This week however we successfully navigated the recording (with only a brief cameo from Pål's dog) to bring you a fantastic conversation with Rolf Jensen, VP of Techn
Nordic Fintech Week Special: We're Gonna Need a Bigger Podcast (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We are gearing up for Nordic Fintech Week with an exclusive, jam packed two guest episode! Ville and Pål sit down with two heavyweights of the European financial technology space to discuss everything from building challenger banks to the impending robot takeover.

Digital Euro Pilots Take Off, Doomsday Banks & Finnish M&A | Nordic Fintech Highlights July 2026 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
July in the Nordics usually consists of out-of-office autoreplies and mosquito bites, but while we were all on vacation, the European Central Bank was busy clearing the table. Pål and Ville are back to the microphones alongside the ever-insightful Janne Salminen from Helsinki Fintech Farm, to unpack it all. Here is what we are dissecting in our Nordic Fintech Highlights season 14 return: 🇪🇺 The Digital Euro Pilot: The ECB has tapped 36 payment service providers for its retail pilot, targeting mi
Rip Out the Core, or How We Learned to Stop Worrying and Build a Better Bank (Not Just a Better IT System) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We have somehow survived long enough to make it to Season 14, and to kick things off, Ville is putting his co-host Pål in the hot seat. Pål actually went and published a brand new book, Rip Out the Core, proving that at least one half of this podcast is capable of being productive. We start the episode with a vintage Pål joke about minting meme coins. We will not spoil the punchline here, but let's just say it is wrong on several levels. Then we dive into the hard-earned lessons from his three d
