Scaling Monthio to Make Credit Easier for Banks and Credit Providers and Their Customers
At Monthio, we believe credit should be straightforward, transparent, and customer-friendly. Over the past year, we’ve been strengthening both our technology and our team to make that possible, not only for lenders in Denmark, but for financial institutions across Europe. With the backing of a significant funding round, we are now putting real weight behind our ambition to become one of the leading European players in our field.
Technology built for reliability
During the winter and spring, we expanded our development team with key hires. Their purpose: to make sure our product continues to evolve while delivering the reliability and stability that banks and lenders expect. That work paved the way for the next step: strengthening the teams that bring Monthio’s solutions to clients.
Expanding the team to match client needs
Chief Commercial Officer
About a year ago, Christian Bach Jensen joined Monthio and in early spring this year stepped into the role of Chief Commercial Officer. Since then, in close sparring with his fellow leadership team, our board, and key industry advisors, Christian has focused on bringing in new colleagues who add industry experience and fresh energy.
Christian puts it this way:
“When I joined last year, I already knew from the client side I came from that Monthio had a strong solution and a committed team. What we’ve done since is adding people who know how to work with large financial institutions and other credit providers. That means our clients get the creativity, flexibility, and speed of a fintech, combined with professionalism and deep industry insight.”
This started in the spring with the appointments of Henrik Kølle Petersen (VP Sales, Asset & Consumer Finance) and Steen Van Hauen (VP Sales, Head of Banking), both with long experience in complex technology services. Over the summer, more senior hires in sales and customer success have been in the pipeline, and now we are welcoming our new colleagues in Denmark, Finland and Sweden. Together they strengthen how we meet the expectations of established banks, consumer lenders and auto finance companies.

Experienced leadership at the helm
In tandem with this journey, we have also added new senior leadership to Monthio. In June, Torsten Hagen Jørgensen, one of the Nordics’ most experienced banking executives, joined as Chairman of the Board. More recently, Claus Asbjørn Stehr joined as Head of CEO Office, adding new perspectives to the leadership team and ensuring sharp focus on how we continue to deliver on our plans.
Christian comments:
“Attracting leaders like Torsten and Claus shows that Monthio is taken seriously at the highest level of the industry. Just as important, with our full leadership team, board and investors around the table, we can present an exceptionally strong organisation. That gives us the structure and clarity to make decisions and follow through on them, so our clients know we are a dependable partner they can count on.”

What this means for our clients
For banks, lenders, and leasing companies, these changes are not just about a growing team. They are about having a partner that delivers quality - in the solution itself, and in the people who deliver it. Monthio combines sector expertise with practical experience to ensure that value is realised not just at the point of sale, but in implementation and everyday use.
At the same time, Monthio is ready to take on innovative ideas and new demands raised by clients, something we have already proven in past collaborations. Our aim is clear: to help financial institutions make credit easier, faster, and more transparent for their customers. By combining dependable technology, people with deep industry insight, and leadership with proven experience, we are well placed to support our clients as they adapt to what comes next in credit and lending.
This is the first in a short series on how we are strengthening Monthio for our clients. Next, we will share more about how we continue to invest in our product, and how we stand out through service and delivery.
