Earlier this week, we received an email from Finland-based group-account platform Holvi that listed recent developments:

• New homepage
• Have processed payments of more than 300,000 euros
• The majority of requests for beta accounts (70%) come from outside of Finland (though Holvi currently takes only Finland-based users)
• Most requests for accounts are from people wanting to use it to organize finances for activities and events
• People wanting to use Holvi for business comprise the second highest number of requests for accounts. For example:

– Lille-lle is running her small T-shirt print business on Holvi

– Devaamo is a developer event that conducts its banking with Holvi

– Hermanni Turkki is running their band and selling their first album on Holvi
