My kind of woman! I thoroughly enjoyed this candid, truth-bomb-filled conversation packed with sharp insights into how she and co-founder Denise Johansson built the company from scratch.
Enfuce is a trailblazer in payments, the first to run a cloud-based card issuing platform, and its CaaS (Card-as-a-Service) model is powering the financial industryโs shift to modern, API-first solutions. Enfuce enables clients to launch feature-rich card and payment services in weeks, not months, with industry-leading uptime and stability. Applications range from expense management and neobanks to loyalty programmes, fuel cards, and consumer lending.
Since its founding in 2016, Enfuce has grown to over 13 million active card users, processing nearly โฌ1 billion in annual transactions, and has recently expanded into Germany and France.
With nearly 20 years in banking and tech, Monika has led Enfuceโs rapid growth across Europe, securing record-breaking funding for female founders and forging key industry partnerships. A strong advocate for ESG, sustainability, and diversity in tech, she challenges leaders to take meaningful action.
