Moneyveo: Key solutions driving leadership in Fintech

Founding Moneyveo in 2013 was like establishing a new airline route without a ready map of destinations. At that time, merging finance and IT in Ukraine was seen as innovative and, while full of potential, required significant adaptation to unpredictable circumstances.

The risk taken by the founders paid off: for over a decade, the company has successfully navigated the market, weathering numerous crises alongside the country.

The launch took place during a tense period—amid the Revolution of Dignity—immediately raising the stakes for the challenges ahead. Each subsequent economic crisis, pandemic, and full-scale war became a test of the company's resilience. Time and again, Moneyveo demonstrated that business is not just about profit; it’s also about building trust, adapting to changing conditions, and implementing new ideas and technologies.
