Stockholm Fintech Week
Stockholm Fintech Week is a Swedish conference series for people developing or running financial technology businesses. The event brings banks and fintech companies together with regulators and investors in Stockholm. Discussions cover payments and wealth management, including how instant payments and AI change financial services.
The format combines side events across the city with a conference day of talks and discussions. This gives attendees opportunities to meet industry peers as well as hear how financial services businesses address technical and regulatory questions. The conference stage content is held in English, allowing participants from different countries to follow the same sessions.
Who organizes Stockholm Fintech Week
Stockholm Fintech and Nordic Fintech Magazine organize the week with support from the Swedish and Nordic fintech sector. Banks and fintech companies meet regulators and investors for discussions across the two-day program.
The former Stockholm Fintech Hub has closed. Stockholm Fintech Week provides a meeting point for the Swedish industry; fintech in Stockholm and Copenhagen covers the financial services market.
Program and tracks
The conference day runs on three stages, a keynote stage, a panel stage and a smaller stage. The program of the latest edition had 12 panels, 13 keynotes and 14 fireside chats on that one day. The side events day before it is spread over venues across Stockholm and announced closer to the date.
The tracks show where Swedish finance stands: agentic AI in finance, with AI agents in credit, fraud, customer service and payments; embedded finance, with banking as a platform and instant payment rails; wealthtech, under the heading of Sweden as an investment nation; cyber resilience under NIS2, DORA, PSD3 and the planned FiDA rules; and fintech across borders.
Why Stockholm matters for German payments
Sweden is the country where cash nearly left daily life. Swish, the mobile payment app of the Swedish banks, moves money between phone numbers in seconds, and the Riksbank tells households to keep some cash at home for a disruption. Both stories are on the Nordic fintech page.
German banks face the same questions with Wero and instant payments, a few years later. A day of Swedish panels on embedded finance and payment rails gives a German payments team the experience of a market that has already moved, as covered at instant payments in Europe.

Stockholm Fintech Week and Finance Loop
Finance Loop follows the Nordic conference calendar for its members because the Swedish payments market shows German banks what comes after cash. Finance Loop holds its own events in Frankfurt, Munich, Berlin and Hamburg and organizes delegations to finance hubs across Europe. A Swedish fintech that wants to meet German banks can present at a Finance Loop meetup or a webinar, and the free Network Membership brings the invitations.
Finance Loop is a professional network supporting the institutional use of emerging technologies in finance, such as AI, digital payments, cloud and blockchain solutions. Finance Loop helps its members build skills and personal networks in these fields: Investment & Digital Assets, Payments & Digital Money, Digital Infrastructure & Sovereignty, and Risk & Compliance.
