We understand how it feels to be held back in your ambition.
You have probably wondered if there is a company that can help you with the right tools and processes to achieve your goals. We know that you want to be efficient and reliable, and it's wrong for business-critical processes to be the bottleneck of your growth.
At Bluem, we understand.
If you're like us, you want your business to grow but lack the right tools in business-critical services for all your payments, identity, compliance, and creditworthiness to make this happen.
Even before the iPhone existed, Bluem was already a pioneer of FiNBOX together with ABN AMRO, ING, Rabobank, and PostNL. Our dedication to payments, passion for technology, and pursuit of user-friendliness are in our DNA. Now, with over a decade of experience in creating payment convenience, we guarantee high-quality service while simultaneously working on solutions for the future for entrepreneurs like you.
We are committed to helping your business with optimized business processes, so you can stop feeling restless and bring order to the chaos.
The process is straightforward:
Schedule a consultation
Receive a tailored proposal
Achieve your objectives
Rieko Kester - CEO
Aviël Ossi - CTO
Once you have booked your consultation, you have taken the first step towards building a solid foundation for your business.
We believe that business-critical processes should not be the bottleneck for organizations and you deserve to enjoy doing business.
We help you focus on what you do best.
