Multitude Bank chooses Salt Edge to optimise loan repayment

By Gloria Methri

Multitude Bank, which offers digital lending and online banking services to consumers and SMEs across Europe, has partnered with Salt Edge to enable instant loan repayments.

To enhance customer experience, Multitude Bank is leveraging Salt Edge’s open banking technology to optimise repayment processes. Using the open banking method Pay-by-Link, customers will receive timely notifications about impending installments, ensuring a more convenient repayment process.

Salt Edge’s Payment Initiation solution will allow Multitude Bank’s clients, who previously relied on traditional online banking, to make instant loan repayments, reduce transaction costs, and connect with 2,300+ banks across Europe.

The Bank has already successfully implemented Salt Edge’s solution for consumer lending products. Building on this success, the parties have agreed to strengthen their partnership by integrating a white-label Payment Initiation solution, enabling the Bank to offer payment initiation services to other EMI-licensed Payment Service Providers. This expansion will allow the provision of Payment Initiation services, including local settlement and virtual accounts for processing payments in SEK, CZK, EUR, DKK, and GBP.

Salt Edge’s solution stood out due to its flexibility, competitive pricing, extensive coverage, and readiness to adapt to Multitude’s specific needs. These factors were pivotal in choosing Salt Edge as a partner in this initiative. Dario Azzopardi, CBO & Deputy CEO of Multitude Bank.
