Lunar, the Nordic challenger bank, is reportedly focused on becoming one of the best “every day banks” in the Nordics region.
Lunar is a digital challenger bank focused on simplifying and enriching customers’ financial lives by creating a frictionless everyday banking platform.
Founded in Aarhus, Denmark they received their banking license in 2019 and now over 900,000 private and business customers across the Nordics use Lunar.
They’re claiming to be a force of +450 strong individuals working together in a progressive manner.
Lunar, which is focused on growth and expanding its suite of products and services, has welcomed Robert Stambro as its Chief Financial Officer (CFO), effective December 1st.
Robert joins Lunar from his recent role as CFO at Qliro, a Nordic fintech company, where he played a key role in driving financial strategy as well as operations.
With considerable experience in the financial services sector, Robert has held senior roles in banking and fintech.
Prior to his position at Qliro, he served in leadership roles at Nordnet Bank.
His experience with publicly listed firms, and his expertise in IPO readiness, will be invaluable as Lunar enters the next phase of its business growth.
Ken Villum Klausen, CEO and founder of Lunar said that Robert’s background in financial services will be key as they “strengthen their position and expand their offerings with new products and services, with the ultimate goal of becoming the best everyday bank in the Nordics.”
As they look to the next phase of their strategy, Robert will play a central role in helping them “achieve their growth objectives and execute their plans.”
Robert Stambro said that this is the ideal time to join Lunar, with the company gaining strong momentum and “a very promising outlook for 2025.” They added that they’re eager to bring their experience to help drive Lunar’s growth and to play a key role as the company continues to expand.
Rie Ruby, Lunar’s CFO for the past two years, will remain with the company and the leadership team in “a new senior role.”
She will continue to report directly to Klausen and “work closely together on strategic initiatives across the business.”
As noted in the update, Rie has played a crucial role in transforming Lunar’s financial operations, “establishing solid performance metrics, and driving operational efficiencies that have positioned them for success as they diversify and expand.”
