our working groups
SweFinTech is an organization with our member companies in focus. The companies cover several segments within fintech and in order for us to operate more efficiently, SweFinTech has created different working groups which are related to the different segments or linked to specific issues. The purpose of the groups is to find solutions to common challenges and to create dialogue in different subject areas. All groups have a coordinator and SweFinTech's office is responsible for the dialogue between the groups and the board.
Our working groups
DOR-group
Coordinator: Springflod
The DORA group is working on the new EU ICT risk regulation, the Digital Operational Resilience Act, which comes into force in January 2025. The group studies and discusses definitions, proportionality, interpretations, implementations and technical standards.
Crowdfunding-group
Coordinator: Jonas Björkman - CEO at Tessin
In 2018, the Crowdfunding Alliance was founded as an initiative of SweFinTech. The alliance consists of the companies Tessin and Savelend, and has since its start evolved into an important consultative body in the development of the new law on crowdfunding. While waiting for the new law to come into force, the group presented their own industry practice which enabled them to stay ahead of political decision makers. Its primary task is to respond to consultations and discuss issues relating to crowdfunding with government officials and authorities.
Coordinator: Carl Brynielsson – CEO at Lendo
