From a Small Office in Ioannina to a growing Fintech Force: Reflections of a Journey

Ιn the picturesque and rainy Lake town of #Ioannina, in the North-West of #Greece, a town of ancient legends and varying landscapes, a new story was beginning to unfold some 20 years ago. Working from a humble office, right above a computer store (which actually was also the name of my family business at that time) a handful of individuals, my father included, embarked on a journey with a vision to make financial software simpler for smaller banks…and we formed Natech ∙ Financial Software. Little did we know, for the city of #Ioannina to emerge as a hub of technology and innovation.

CODING in FINTECH: daunting or thrilling challenge?

It has been a while since my professional career as a Software Engineer started at Natech. In the beginning, I was very curious about my daily routine. Firstly, I knew nothing about Finance and Banking. Secondly, I had no clue if I was going to make it and how difficult would be the transition from university to a real working environment.

It is true that the pandemic has accelerated digital banking. Covid-19 has triggered an explosion in consumer demand for digital banking and led to a far more quick and radical  modernization of web banking platforms.

At Natech, it’s all about the people!

I have been working at Natech for more than a year now and I thought I would share some of my reflections on this.

Sim Swapping and OTP risks

The Hellenic Banking Association announced that Sim Swapping is a significant risk that we need to consider. It is true!

Thoughts on a Friday afternoon while leaving the office

"You are as strong as your team" 

First days in the office after my two-months work from home routine. What I appreciated most in my workplace and my team is that, in either work model, we are engaged to our projects and we support each other on our tasks, sharing our knowledge and ideas until we meet a solution.
