Andréas Hobbelin

Biography

Seasoned AML and financial crime prevention expert, and founder of Find Payment Partner. Andréas has worked inside some of Scandinavia's most relevant payments actors: Swedbank (2016-2020), the Norwegian fintech ZTL Payment Solutions AS (2020-2024), Norwegian AERA (2024), and currently as part-time Head of AML at the Swedish fintechs Plusius AB (2024-) and Open Payments Europe AB (2025). He is also a part-time compliance consultant at Habeno (2025-), a Spanish digital mortgage intermediary. His experience spans traditional banking, Nordic fintech scaling, and cross-border European payments — including analysing the Baltic fintech sector while at Swedbank. He built Find Payment Partner after seeing first-hand how fintechs and payment companies waste months trying to identify payment partners that actually match their risk appetite, target customers and product needs — and how often credible-looking partners cannot deliver what they advertise.
