Italy’s Metoda Finance has partnered with German cloud-banking platform Mambu to improve regulatory compliance for Italian financial institutions (FIs) making the digital transformation, a press release said Thursday (Sept. 22).
The collaboration will offer a suite of regulation-driven banking technology solutions, which will be integrated with Mambu’s software-as-a-service (SaaS) banking and business process orchestration platform.
The firms want to offer a product for companies interested in “modern solutions that both comply with local regulations and are purpose-built for agility.”
Mambu Italy Sales Manager Victor Indiano said the partnership will combine the SaaS banking platform with Metoda’s anti-money laundering (AML) monitoring, regulatory reporting and other services.
“The result is an offering that is unique and tailored to the Italian financial services market. We look forward to empowering more financial organizations in the region and to take Italian banking to the next level of the digital economy.”
Metoda Finance Technical Director Vincenzo Farace said the Mambu’s “agile banking platform is a perfect match for our solutions and ensures we can offer a robust proposition for Italian customers that evolves with the pace of their business’ and customers’ needs.”
Mambu also teamed up with Western Union on a way to offer more digital banking products in Europe, PYMNTS wrote.
