Johan Gyllenpalm, Vitec Capitex Finanssystem

My name is Johan Gyllenpalm and I’m a product manager at Vitec Capitex . I’ve been working here since 2018.

What do you like most about Vitec?
I like lots of things about Vitec. One of the reasons I started here is because the company is big, but it feels small and familiar. The company structure also provides good opportunities to influence matters, which is fun and interesting. In a slightly smaller subsidiary, you also have the chance to work on many different things.

Does anything in particular make you proud at work?
Because I’m a bit of a nerd when it comes to mortgages and mortgage calculations, it’s important to occasionally look up and say: our work really contributes to supporting the financial sustainability of society. 

We help banks assess who can afford a loan, but we also provide financial guidance for those who can’t yet afford to realize their plans. I am proud that we’re an important part of the banks’ lending processes.

How did you come to work in this particular field? 
Yes, that’s a good question. After studying at Stockholm University, I ended up in the banking world by chance. During the years that I worked at a bank, I collaborated with Vitec on several occasions and I thought it would be exciting to switch sides someday and work more with product development for the banks. Here, along with my fantastic colleagues, I now have the chance to develop services that are requested by the banks in Sweden, which is fun and challenging.

Thank you!
