FNZ and UniCredit, one of Europe’s leading banks, have entered into a long-term strategic partnership to evolve the bank’s securities services offering. 

The partnership marks a major milestone in UniCredit’s programme to simplify and grow its securities business as it brings its back-office operations in house. UniCredit will deploy FNZ’s cloud-based post-trade securities platform to standardize operations and bring critical back-office functions under one roof.

By using FNZ’s technology, UniCredit will enhance operational efficiency, accelerate innovation, and streamline processes to serve clients in the most seamless way possible. Delivered on a SaaS basis, FNZ’s post-trade securities platform provides a secure, flexible, and cost-effective way to manage securities and custody services, while ensuring UniCredit maintains full control over its operations. 

This agreement expands FNZ’s European footprint and underscores the strength of the business already trusted by more than 650 financial institutions worldwide.
