Building the future of Financial Services
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. Originally built as an Open Finance platform, we realized that, to achieve this mandate, we needed much more than just data aggregation. That’s why we become today the only platform that brings together Open Finance and Embedded Banking. We empower financial institutions, fintechs, and software vendors across Europe and LATAM to create innovative products and streamline their financial operations through frictionless and fully automated banking and payment experiences. With Powens, possibilities become limitless. Join us in shaping the future of finance.
We are a united team around four values
Bold
We take initiative and are not afraid to blaze a new trail.
Committed
We are dedicated to conquering any problem.
Teamwork
Individuals are at the service of the group.
Striving for the best
Our humility pushes us to become better and better.
Our mission
At Powens, we’re committed to empowering financial players to build better banking and payment experiences. We strive to build Europe’s number one platform combining Open Finance & Embedded Banking, so banks and fintech can innovate at light speed.
