Lunar Appoints Banking Veteran Nanna Bergmann

Danish digital bank Lunar has named Nanna Bergmann, former strategy director at The Bank of London, as General Manager of its payments infrastructure subsidiary Moonrise. The unit, spun off from Lunar's Banking-as-a-Service division in December 2023, aims to provide Nordic-focused payment solutions, including multi-currency clearing and corporate accounts.

Moonrise reports a daily transaction volume exceeding €5 billion and has partnered with fintechs like Trustly and TrueLayer. Lunar CEO Ken Villum Klausen stated the spin-off allows the firm to "sharpen our focus on enterprise payments and scale independently," positioning Moonrise as a "unified Nordic solution" for regulated financial institutions.

Bergmann, who founded the non-profit Always Unicorns and held leadership roles at Google UK and Arla Foods, will oversee Moonrise's expansion. Her appointment signals Lunar's ambition to solidify its foothold in the Nordic payments sector.
