Bankdata is a prominent IT company in Denmark, with a history dating back to June 16, 1966, when four employees and the company’s first director, Arne Birkholm, started in small offices in Fynsgade in Fredericia. Their mission was to create smarter accounting solutions for member banks, a project they thought would be quickly completed. Nearly 60 years later, Bankdata is one of Denmark’s major IT companies, with around 900 employees, generating over DKK 1.7 billion in annual revenue. Bankdata’s solutions are used every day by more than 7,500 bank employees, serving nearly 187,000 companies and a total of 1.6 million Danes.

In short, Bankdata provides digital competitiveness to eight Danish financial institutions: Jyske Bank, Sydbank, Ringkjøbing Landbobank, Djurslands Bank, Kreditbanken, Nordfyns Bank, Skjern Bank, and Sparekassen Sjælland-Fyn, delivering IT systems used across Denmark, from the bank app on your smartphone to Denmark’s financial infrastructure.

A significant portion of Bankdata’s revenue is invested in strategic innovation projects that benefit customers and create value. These projects include tools for bank advisors, self-service solutions for bank customers, integrations with services like MitID and MobilePay, and entirely new products such as a platform for trading complex financial instruments on the international capital market.

Bankdata values flexibility, adaptability to change, and security. Employees are part of a strong community, working in smaller, specialised teams following agile principles, in self-organising teams with close contact with customers. Demand for Bankdata’s solutions is high, and tasks are prioritised to ensure there’s time to recharge outside the office.

The Frontend Private/Business Team, under Core Banking and Financial Crime, works centrally at Bankdata and focuses on the development of significant parts of mobile and online banking, building many of the systems that allow customers to transfer money and view their accounts.

The team operates according to DevOps principles and places great emphasis on testing, alerts, and monitoring of services. The team covers both backend and frontend development, and everyone is expected to take ownership of the entire solution together. The team has a diverse educational background, but shares an interest in writing quality code and developing solutions that have a significant impact on the daily lives of Danish citizens.
