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.
