All things related to banks. Our posts cover both traditional and digital banks in Sweden, the Nordic countries, and the world. Some of the banks we cover often are Avanza, Resurs, Nordea, Swedbank, Revolut, Northmill, Santander, and more.
Here’s my latest Lendo review, 2023 edition. After I wrote about the best ways to compare loans in Sweden, I got tons of questions about Lendo, and how it compares to Advisa, for example. I decided to do some extra research and write this article to help clarify some aspects.
Time for an updated Wise Review 2023 edition. Wise is stepping up the game this year with a completely new branding, offering more sustainable eco debit cards, faster transfer rates, and giving you interest on your multi-currency account. The result is a convenient and maintenance-free account perfect for sending money internationally and traveling.
The new Wise eco card is made from sustainable sources like non-food corn, unlike most bank cards made from PVC plastics that take over 400 years to break down. The Wise eco card has all the great features of the standard Wise debit card, combined with a sleek and stylish all-white biodegradable card. In this post, we have a detailed look at it and how it stands against its competition.
There’s a new Revolut Polkadot Learn and Earn course now available in Revolut’s app! I wrote about my experience with Revolut’s Learn and Earn here, back in July 2022. We have seen this initiative before, both with Coinbase and Crypto.com University.
Northmill Bank is a digital bank in Sweden that was established in 2006. Their most famous product is Northmill kontokredit (account credit), which is an overdraft bank account.

Resurs has launched a new financing option named Resurs Pay by Loan that offers flexible financing for vehicle purchases. Unlike traditional fixed-rate financing options, Pay by Loan simplifies the application process and eliminates the need for customers to act as intermediaries. Resurs partnered with Autolend, a credit broker company, to create this product, which is part of Resurs’ Banking as a Service offering and investment in digital services.
Resurs (also known as Resurs Bank) has been around for 45 years, and it is the 19th largest bank in Sweden. Recently, there has been some controversy as Resurs received a fine of 50 million SEK (5 million USD) for issuing credits with poor assessment in 2019. Since I wrote about some of Resurs credit cards, many readers reached out to bring more details about the bank, and my experience. In this post, we cover 5 reasons why Resurs is heading in the right direction to becoming a consumer giant.
