How #1 EV Charging Platform Monta Expands Safely Across Europe & the US with spektr

Monta is a software platform powering EV‑charging ecosystems globally. Its CPMS (Monta Hub) enables operators to deploy, monitor, bill, and optimize chargers at scale, supports drivers via the Monta Charge app, and integrates payment and grid‑services technology, accelerating electrification across Europe and the US.

The Challenge

As Monta rapidly expanded into new markets, their ambitions brought them into the complex world of financial operations and payments. What began as a growth-focused scale-up soon required a much more robust approach to compliance.  With new banking partners in the United States and growing expectations from large enterprise customers, Monta needed to meet rigorous onboarding and operational standards that matched the maturity of the evolving EV-charging industry – without slowing its momentum.

“With our growth trajectory, it became clear that manual onboarding and compliance processes would slow us down,” shares Nick Skovsen, VP Operational Excellence & Governance at Monta. “We needed a scalable infrastructure that could keep us nimble and satisfy requirements both in Europe and the US, without ballooning our headcount.”

Managing onboarding for a growing mix of individual and business clients added another layer of complexity. Staying audit-ready while maintaining a smooth user experience required a solution that could handle both external expectations and internal operational goals.

Monta’s leadership knew they needed a partner that offered more than just software. They were looking for a platform that understood the nuances of cross-border compliance and could evolve alongside the business.

The Vision

Nick and his team set out to align Monta’s modern technology stack with an equally agile and forward-looking compliance framework. They recognized that compliance couldn’t become a drag on growth, especially as the company entered new markets and formed high-stakes financial partnerships.

“We didn’t want operational processes to become a bottleneck as we entered new markets and engaged major partners,” Nick notes. “We needed a solution smart enough to adapt as we evolved, and robust enough to earn the trust of large customers and industry stakeholders.”

When introduced to spektr, Monta saw more than a typical vendor. What stood out was the depth of operational and onboarding experience combined with a product built specifically for high-growth fintechs. The flexibility of the platform and the hands-on approach from the spektr team signaled a clear fit.

Mikkel Skaranger, CEO of spektr, recalls those early discussions:

“Monta had the vision and operational drive, and we brought the infrastructure to help them scale safely. They didn’t just need software, they needed a compliance partner who could help them move fast without cutting corners.”

The Build

Monta engaged spektr during a pivotal phase, navigating customer requirements and expansion into the United States. The stakes were high, with tight timelines and milestones that had to be met to continue expansion.

spektr provided both strategic advisory and the tooling Monta needed. Using spektr’s no-code platform, the team quickly configured onboarding workflows and case management processes tailored to their structure and partner expectations.

“spektr didn’t just deliver a platform, they acted as an extension of our team, advising on process and helping us through audits,” Nick explains.

Today, Monta’s teams use spektr to manage onboarding for individuals and businesses, with real-time visibility into client risk and compliance progress. Automated case routing and centralized oversight help reduce manual tasks while maintaining complete control over the process.

Erik Wagner, co-founder at spketr, comments on the collaboration:

“Monta came to us with high expectations, and rightly so. We worked closely to make sure their compliance function was future-ready, especially as they expanded into more demanding markets.”

The Advantage

With spektr, Monta has been able to efficiently scale onboarding and maintain compliance across multiple regions, all without adding to their compliance headcount. The platform gives the team the agility they need to support rapid market expansion, while still satisfying the demands of large customers and strategic partners.

“spektr is solving Monta's onboarding and compliance automation with their intuitive design, customizability and end-to-end solution,” says Nick.

By streamlining onboarding, enhancing oversight, and reducing operational drag, spektr has helped Monta turn compliance into a growth enabler rather than a constraint. What was once a risk of slowing down the business has become a source of resilience and confidence as they scale globally.

From spektr’s perspective, this kind of transformation is what the platform was built to deliver.

“Helping clients like Monta build scalable, audit-proof compliance infrastructure is what drives us,” says Mikkel Skaranger. “They’re moving fast, and we’re here to make sure compliance moves with them.”
