Sambla Group appoints Martin Hjärne as Chief Compliance Officer

Sambla Group is pleased to announce the appointment of Martin Hjärne as Chief Compliance Officer. The appointment further strengthens Sambla Group’s regulatory capabilities at an important stage in the company’s development, as Sambla Group is now a licensed credit market company.

Becoming a credit market company marks a significant step in Sambla Group’s evolution and places even greater importance on strong governance, regulatory compliance and robust internal control. In his role, Martin will be responsible for building, leading and further developing the Group’s compliance function, with a focus on regulatory oversight, internal governance and control, and advice to the business.

“Becoming a licensed credit market company is a major milestone for Sambla Group and an important step in our ambition to become the leading financial partner for consumers in the Nordics. With this comes increased responsibility, and strong regulatory capabilities are essential as we continue to grow and develop. Martin brings deep expertise in compliance and financial regulation, combined with a pragmatic and business-oriented approach. His experience will be highly valuable as we continue to build trust with customers, partners and authorities while scaling responsibly. I am very pleased to welcome him to Sambla Group,” says Hans Skruvfors, CEO of Sambla Group.

Martin joins Sambla Group with extensive experience from financial services and compliance. He most recently held a senior compliance role at Billogram, where he worked with regulatory matters, control frameworks and governance in a fast-moving fintech environment.

“I am very excited to join Sambla Group at this important stage of its journey. Sambla Group’s new licence as a credit market company creates a strong platform for the next phase of growth. The company has a strong position in the Nordic markets, a clear customer proposition and high ambitions for the future. I look forward to working with teams across the Group to build a robust, risk-based and business-oriented compliance function that supports responsible growth and helps Sambla Group continue to earn trust every day,” says Martin Hjärne, newly appointed Chief Compliance Officer at Sambla Group. “
