About us

AQRISK is a specialized fintech company with Nordic roots and a global outlook. Headquartered in the heart of Copenhagen, we launched AQOPTIMIZER in 2018 and have since experienced rapid growth. Today, our platform supports a wide range of banks across the Nordic region and we are now scaling globally.

Our strength lies in combining deep domain expertise with cutting-edge technology. With a foundation in banking and financial engineering, we help banks unlock data-driven value. Through advanced analytics, quantitative methods, automation, and intuitive visualization, we enable smarter, faster decision-making.

Strategic partnerships are central to how we scale and innovate. Alongside our in-house commercial, development and AI teams, we collaborate closely with trusted partners to extend our reach and capabilities.

Our advisory board and investor group includes highly respected leaders from top-tier banking and tech institutions, such as Lars Sjögren, Klaus Holse, Peter Colsted, Georg Hetrodt, and Rina Asmussen - bringing invaluable insight and guidance to our journey.

Our mission

Banking is evolving fast. New technologies and business models are reshaping the industry, requiring financial institutions to continuously adapt to changing markets and competitive dynamics.

One of the most significant global trends is the growing importance of data - and the ability to turn data into business value. This creates new demands on banks to strengthen their technological and quantitative capabilities, especially for institutions that have not historically focused on these areas.

We believe the future leaders in banking will be those who embrace partnerships with specialized fintechs - unlocking fast access to innovation, expertise, and modern solutions. This model is not just for the largest players; it is a powerful opportunity for financial institutions of all sizes.

At AQRISK, our mission is to be the go-to fintech partner for midsize and smaller banks - empowering them with advanced, cost-efficient solutions that deliver real business impact without the overhead of large in-house tech teams. We aim to level the playing field, making data-driven transformation accessible and affordable.

For tier-1 banks, our mission also includes offering seamless access to cutting-edge tools and insights -without requiring massive internal investments in development and maintenance. We deliver speed, simplicity, and value - so our clients can focus on what they do best, banking.
