Our Story
It all started back in 2007. Five seasoned IT and banking experts thought there was a better and more cost-efficient loan and deposit system waiting to happen. So we started working. We’d eventually built a new banking system from scratch, free of legacy baggage. And we realized that we’d made something unique to the market.
We worked hard. We innovated. We grew. And in Spring 2020 we had the vilja to become Vilja – a Swedish word that means ‘the will’, and is pronounced “vil-yah”.
Our new name better reflects our present and future – the will to be the best cloud-based core banking platform on the planet.
We’re also proudly Swedish. From IKEA to Spotify, Sweden has always been a country that takes great ideas to the world. But most of all, we have ‘the will’ to do everything to make our customers successful. That’s our story, and we’d love you to be a part of it.
