Our Story
PandaConnect began in 1997 as a FinTech initiative within Nordea Investment Management.
In 2007 and 2015, the business was extracted from the bank and acquired by its two founders, establishing PandaConnect as a fully independent company.
Since then, we have formed the PandaConnect Group, opened our international office in Vilnius, and expanded across new geographies, industries, and services. Along the way, we have developed strong partnerships with custodian banks, investment managers, and data providers — all while maintaining our independence and neutrality.
It has been a long and exciting journey, and we are proud to support clients with a robust administrative infrastructure that enables transparency, confidence, and peace of mind in managing complex wealth.
Certifications & Structure
PandaConnect is privately owned and certified under both ISAE 3402 and ISAE 3000.
We operate under GDPR, and support clients subject to global standards such as LGPD, and IFRS.
