Micke and I founded Näktergal in 2015 with a simple vision. If we could replace unnecessarily complex and manual legacy mortgage systems, consumers would benefit from less painful mortgage applications, and banks would benefit from a more intelligent and efficient mortgage platform. Today, we are excited to announce that we have raised 10M SEK in a round led by Katalysen & Partners. As we supercharge the next phase of growth and product development for Näktergal, to seize the enormous opportunity within mortgage tech.

While we’re still in the early innings of the digital transformation of banking services, we’re excited to work with banks, fintechs and non-financial institutions in our network to create what’s next. There isn’t a day that goes by that we’re not working on a “first of its kind”, and we’ve barely scratched the surface of what’s possible. Almost every day, we’re uncovering new technical insights to enable banks better to provide smooth mortgage experiences for consumers and provide intelligent features to supercharge banks lending flows.

This is all made possible due to our amazing and innovative team of superstars. This is easily the most talented and creative group of folks Micke and I have ever had the pleasure of working with. It’s incredible to see how they raise the bar each and every day. 

We also want to say a huge thank you to all our other investors and supporters who have helped us reach this milestone, including Stefan Backlund, former Vice President Marketing & Communications at Trustly, Jon Wimmercranz, former Group CMO at Bambora as well as fintech veteran Anette Tånneryd.

The new funding will accelerate further expansion in Europe, the company is already planning to enter Germany in the coming months and support the development of the cloud-based lending platform to drive the transformation of financial institutions globally.

Onwards!
