Holvi, the future of banking with simple, but powerful services!
Finland based startup Holvi was among the most interesting startups in Slush 12 conference in Helsinki. Holvi tries to change traditional banking to be more simple, but yet very effective. As they say in their site, “Holvi isn’t a bank, but it will replace your bank“. You can make transactions with Holvi’s service, just traditional banks, but you can also associate as many accounts with your Holvi profile, making it easy to separate finances for different projects.
Holvi is mainly designed for organizations, sports clubs, event organizers, projects, bands, so those who needs planning their project finances and do it without annoying bureaucracy. If you think that it sounds lot like PayPal, you’ll be mistaken. In Paypal you can’t pay or send bills, as Holvi does. Holvi’s service is mobile and web optimized, which will make it’s use very simple and effective.
This is all made possible by new Pan-European legislation for payment services. And the Euro currency zone is making payments easier and pricing as low as local payments. Holvi is currently only available in Finland, but company is planning to launch it’s service outside of Finland in the near future.
