## How each company describes itself

### Bold Scandinavia / NoA

Bold calls itself “an international brand consultancy” shaping identities and experiences for culture, commerce, and industry. Its home page lists eight services: digital experience, brand activation, brand design, motion identity, brand strategy, verbal identity, audio identity, and typeface design.

Offices are in Stockholm, Copenhagen, Oslo, and London, and the site names Bold a member of the NoA family. Cases shown include Eurovision 2024, Mojang Studios, Scandinavian Airlines, and Zettle by PayPal. LinkedIn lists 51–200 employees. Their site renders in the browser, and only the home page loaded for us.

### 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.
