Product Manager

We are the scale-up that builds the financial services and payment experiences that users love!

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. Ultimately, creating the best apps and making banking, financial services, and payments more user-friendly requires an extensive framework.

With the support of the investment fund PSG Growth Equity ($35M raised in 2022), we strive to build Europe’s number one Open Finance platform, so banks and fintechs can innovate at light speed.

Powens is a trusted partner to over 230 top financial players across Europe. We’re committed to empowering them to build better banking and payment experiences. Together, we’re empowering both consumers and businesses while creating the future of Open Finance.
