Our Story

SULV Finance was founded in 2018 by a team of experts with backgrounds in both financial technology and infrastructure services. We recognized a critical gap in the hosting market: while many providers offered generic solutions, few truly understood the unique requirements of financial institutions.

Our mission began with a simple idea: to create hosting solutions specifically engineered for the financial sector, combining enterprise-grade security, regulatory compliance, and high performance into services that financial institutions could trust with their most critical applications.

Today, SULV Finance has grown to become a trusted hosting partner for banks, insurance companies, payment processors, and fintech startups across Europe, with our primary infrastructure located in state-of-the-art data centers in the Netherlands.
