The story
Kompasbank is a Danish challenger bank (CVR 38803611) holding a full Danish banking license (no. 28005) regulated by Finanstilsynet. It built its core on Mambu's cloud banking platform and positions itself as Denmark's fastest business bank for SMEs, offering business loans (DKK 0.5M-25M), leasing, savings, and FX. Rather than building every capability in-house, it partners with specialists — Banking Circle for payments, Ebury for FX, Crediwire for open-banking financial data — and curates SME software through its kompasbank navigator marketplace.
