Humbleteam
Money products are where we go deepest: 56 fintechs and 30+ major banks, with 5 YC-backed fintechs running our designers as part of their in-house team. We design the onboarding, card controls, and dispute flows that a bank’s brand has to survive.
We also move fast. With ING Amsterdam, a B2B banking MVP went from nothing to tested in 5 days. Since 2017, our 49-person team in Prague and Dubai has shipped 200+ projects.
Three reasons fintech teams pick us over Bold
Each one matters most when the brand lives inside a regulated product.
Banking prototypes tested in days
For ING we’ve run both ends: a tested B2B banking MVP in 5 days with ING Amsterdam, and a user-tested small-business banking prototype in 23 days. From a signed brief to a clickable banking prototype, our average is 2 weeks. Bank and fintech enquiries get a reply within 24 hours, with a start possible next week.
56 fintechs behind every flow
We’ve designed for 56 fintechs and 30+ major banks across banking, payments, cards, crypto, and AI-led finance. That record shows up in KYC, limits, card states, and dispute flows, the screens nobody puts in a portfolio. Chuck, One Bank, Zavopay, and Cryptonix are published cases you can read.
Senior designers who stay on it
The designers on your first call do the work, and they average 9 years of experience. Juries have given our work 80+ design awards, among them 14 Awwwards wins, Red Dot, and Webby. Our Clutch score is 4.9 from 35 reviews, and 70% of clients return for another project.

When Bold Scandinavia / NoA is the better call
Two jobs their service list covers directly.
A brand that needs sound and type
Audio identity and typeface design are both listed services. A brand that wants a sonic logo and a custom typeface from the same consultancy as its identity will find that combination there.
Event-scale brand activation in the Nordics
Their work includes the Eurovision 2024 identity, and they run offices in Stockholm, Copenhagen, and Oslo. A broadcast or live event brand that needs activation across Nordic markets suits that setup.

Bold describes itself as an international brand consultancy in Stockholm, Copenhagen, Oslo, and London, with cases such as Eurovision 2024 and Mojang Studios.
Humbleteam or Bold Scandinavia / NoA: who delivers faster?
We publish our delivery times, and Bold’s site does not. Our record: a tested banking MVP in 5 days, a user-tested ING prototype in 23 days, Logitech’s desk-booking app in production in 4 weeks, and 2 weeks on average from brief to clickable prototype. A reply goes out within 24 hours, and work can start next week.
Which agency is better for a bank or fintech product?
We are, by track record: 56 fintechs, 30+ major banks, and 5 YC-backed fintechs that keep our designers inside their in-house teams. Our cases include Chuck, One Bank, Zavopay, and Cryptonix. Bold’s home page shows Zettle by PayPal among its brand cases, and its listed services center on identity, motion, audio, type, and activation.
How big is each team, and who does the work?
Bold runs four offices; we run one 49-person team in Prague and Dubai. The senior designers on your first call do the work and average 9 years of experience. Bold has offices in Stockholm, Copenhagen, Oslo, and London as part of the NoA family, and LinkedIn lists 51–200 employees; the home page does not describe project staffing.
How much does each cost, and how soon can we start?
Neither Bold nor Humbleteam publishes a price list. A fintech brief gets its quote from us on the first call, as a fixed-price audit, a scoped implementation, or a monthly retainer. Enquiries hear back from us within 24 hours, and a project can begin next week. Bold’s site lists an email and phone number per office but no pricing or start times.
