About Penning

Elevating banking to what it can be

Penning Group’s right of existence is to take banking and financial services experience, solutions, products, and offerings to new heights of opportunities. With a core-focus on business as usual but investor and client first, we’re changing the traditional financial world and shaking up the much distorted digital asset world.

Who we are

Penning is a group of financial services bridging the traditional financial and digital asset world. Covering an array of financial and banking services from trade transactions, global money related services and investments. The idea came from offering traditional finance (both private and orginizations) a one-stop-shop to utilize opportunities in the crypto industry. By being incorporated in Copenhagen, Denmark working with Danish Payment rails, and registered with the Danish FSA, we’ve ensured Penning’s partners, members, and clients an efficient platform.

Our core values

We deliver all from the historic value and novelty from traditional and modern banking  including crypto, accessed through a one-stop-shop platform, and backed by the highest standards of effeciency. Our foundation is built around 3 core values:

Transparency

We believe the financial world lacks more transparency, and as such not only is Penning Capital Management positionend as the most open investment fund in the market, but we deal with clients for all other money related affairs with openness

Trust

Transformative

Penning [pʰɛneŋ]

Noun

Penning was the Nordics' most commonly used payment denomination in the middle ages, as well as being the Nordic's oldest minting.

Literally translated to any language across the globe, Penning means money. This encapsulates Penning’s vision of building a secure, compliant, and financial eco-system for all our members.

We are applying the word, the name Penning as a leading platform to give the masses access to the endless possibilities in the DeFi market. In the middle ages, minting was reserved for the royals, whereas today Penning is open to all.
