For Partners

We know we shouldn’t do everything ourselves. That is why OP Lab is actively seeking partnerships and helping OP Financial Group partner with the most innovative companies in the market. Whether you are a startup, scaleup or an established player, we aim at identifying the best win-win scenarios to work together.

With partnerships, we look into developing and distributing services together. We can extend our services to different platforms or channels, complement and develop our offering, or improve our understanding of the current and future customer needs. We strongly believe that through partnerships, we can get to better results faster.

Global collaboration with startups

Do you have a product or service that would complement our offering and help us serve our customers better? In case you would like to use Finnish market as a test bed and grow your customer base with the help of OP’s recognized brand, join us in the journey of learning.

Our collaboration journey with OP Financial Group started with OP Lab partnership program. Since the very beginning, the program was about actually creating customer value in a production environment, not about writing business model canvases. Both parties showed great commitment, an open mindset towards learning and a high level of acceptance for each other’s priorities. Today we are live in the OP Mobile app, helping OP customers manage their subscriptions!

Innovation at OP Lab is real news. The innovation team connected us with all the relevant stakeholders and we rapidly focused on a proposition grounded in a needs based use case. Once the pilot was initiated, the same team helped us with problem solving, securing resources and creating internal support. OP Lab gets things done!
