Nordic Fintech + Coachella, what a rave! | Nordic Fintech Highlights April 2025

Nordic Fintech Highlights is back with Pål, Ville & JanneHold onto your wallets — it’s another round of Fintech Daydreaming’s Nordic Fintech Highlights! This month, the crew dives into:💸 Froda’s fresh funding round – Pål kicks things off with Froda’s impressive new investment and what it means for the embedded finance scene in the Nordics. Is Froda quietly becoming the Stripe of SME lending? Or are we just slapping “embedded” on everything now?🛍️ Klarna x Clover – Janne breaks down Klarna’s latest move to bring BNPL into U.S. brick-and-mortar stores via Clover’s POS system. Will Americans now split their taco payments into four easy installments? The gang debates Klarna’s global stretch and whether in-store BNPL is genius or just fintech déjà vu.🎟️ Coachella + BNPL – Ville brings some festival flair with a quirky story: 60% of Coachella 2025 tickets were bought using BNPL — but not through Klarna or Affirm. What’s going on here? Is “Buy Now, Cry Later” the new concert norm?As always, expect banter, bold takes, and the occasional accidental startup pitch. Warning: contains strong fintech opinions and light Coachella FOMO.Episode hosted by Pål Krogdahl & Ville SointuEpisode produced and edited by Femi Apanishile- Email us on Hello@FintechDaydreaming.com- Fintech Daydreaming home page - https://www.FintechDaydreaming.com- Fintech Daydreaming on Twitter - https://twitter.com/FintechDaydream- Fintech Daydreaming on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/fintech-daydreaming- Pål Krogdahl - https://www.linkedin.com/in/krogdahl/- Ville Sointu - https://www.linkedin.com/in/ville-sointu-54682b/- Femi Apanishile - https://www.linkedin.com/in/femi-apanishile-935a74a1/
