Press releaseskompasbank among Europe’s tech elite: Selected for international scaleup final
For the second year in a row, kompasbank has secured a spot on the Sifted 100: Nordics & Benelux Leaderboard, which ranks the 100 fastest-growing startups and scaleups across eight countries in the two regions.
The ranking is based on revenue growth over the past three fiscal years and highlights companies that have achieved significant progress, with the majority of revenue coming from proprietary technology.
With an average annual growth rate (CAGR) of 136.51% from 2022 to 2024, kompasbank ranks as #40 on the list, which includes the 100 fastest-growing companies in Belgium, Denmark, Finland, the Netherlands, Iceland, Luxembourg, Norway and Sweden.
kompasbank is the only bank on the list dedicated exclusively to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Securing a place on the leaderboard for the second consecutive year underscores kompasbank’s continued growth journey and confirms the strong demand for its solutions tailored to the more than 25 million SMEs in Europe.
Customer trust drives growth
“Being among the fastest-growing companies in the Nordics and Benelux once again is clear evidence of the trust we earn from our customers. Growth does not come by itself – it is created because SMEs demand solutions that match their reality and their needs. From the beginning, we have built a platform with flexible and fast products designed to be a growth engine for SMEs,” says Michael Hurup Andersen, founder and CEO of kompasbank, emphasizing the need to strengthen SMEs’ long-term competitiveness through easier access to financing, payments and digital tools combined in one integrated platform.
A central player in fintech and banking
With this recognition, kompasbank confirms its position as a central player in the Danish and European fintech and banking sector. The bank differentiates itself by combining deposits, financing, payments and digital tools in one integrated platform tailored to SMEs’ needs – in contrast to traditional banks, where solutions are often fragmented and complex.
