A new partnership to help prevent B2B payments fraud
We announced a new partnership with Trustpair, the leading platform in Italy preventing B2B payments fraud. Now Trustpair can enrich its digital platform by offering IBAN Check – a UniCredit solution related to Open Banking developed in conjunction with CBI S.c.p.a.
Thanks to IBAN Check, Trustpair’s clients will be able to check in real time the correct association between the IBAN and Fiscal or VAT Code of Italian beneficiaries. This level of control adds security and efficiency to onboarding and payment operations, and minimises inefficient manual interventions and the risk of fraud.
IBAN Check is one of the first in an ecosystem of value-added services based on API technology, which UniCredit is pivoting towards as part of its Group digitalisation strategy.
One of the strands of our digital strategy is to improve the client experience through simplification and a laser focus on customer needs. Payment solutions will be paramount for us moving forward, with API connectivity and Open Banking key areas where we will continue to invest.”
