UniCredit highlights the ease and consistency of working with Atlar—especially compared to more fragmented integration experiences. The result is a repeatable, low-friction process for banks, tech companies, and finance teams alike.
Susann Kubanke, Cash Management Expert at UniCredit, says:
“When it comes to connecting into our cash management channels, Atlar stands out for their professionalism and seamless execution. From our side, there’s nothing we would change.”
Operating in 17 countries, UniCredit is investing heavily in its tech-sector services. Its Berlin-based team of specialists brings deep expertise and a pragmatic, hands-on approach to working with venture-backed and scaling companies.
Atlar complements this with a unique approach to bank connectivity. All integrations are built and managed in-house using the best method available—while handling 100% of the technical implementation, working directly with banks like UniCredit to deliver a seamless, fully managed experience. As a result, client EBICS connections have been set up via Atlar in just a matter of weeks—supporting reconciliation and payment runs via the ERP or Atlar's treasury system.
Jakob Berglund, Head of Partnerships at Atlar, adds:
“This collaboration is a great example of what’s possible when banks and fintechs work in sync. We’re proud to be UniCredit’s go-to integration partner for tech clients, helping companies like Forto get connected without the usual friction.”
