On 18 March, Åland Post launches a new stamp highlighting the financial services sector on Åland. The motif is inspired by the Åland company Enfuce, which in just a few years has grown into an international player in digital payments.
“Our stamps tell stories about Åland. With this stamp, we want to reflect contemporary society and highlight a part of modern Åland business life, showing how innovation, entrepreneurship and international operations can grow out of a small community,” says Johanna Finne, Head of Communications & Stamps at Åland Post Stamps.
Åland illustrator Elin Eriksson took on the challenge of illustrating this abstract business.
“It was inspiring and challenging to translate something so abstract into an image that feels understandable, aesthetic, and interesting – and that works in the small postage stamp format,” I tested different compositions to find an expression that reflected the identity of Enfuce, but where I could also weave my own surrealist style into the design. The result was a motif based on a stylized map of Åland that shows the Åland roots. The layers of red granite, sea, payment card, and the cloud symbolize the way out into the world,” Elin explains.
Enfuce offers cloud-based card and payment services and helps companies issue payment cards, manage transactions and oversee digital payments, among other things.
The company was founded on Åland in 2016 by five industrious entrepreneurs with a vision to change the payments industry. Two of the founders, Denise Johansson and Monika Liikamaa, still lead the company as a CEO duo. In less than ten years, the company has taken the leap from Åland to Europe and become a forerunner in the financial technology industry.
