Erste Group Partners With Salt Edge For Multi-banking Services

Erste Group’s corporate clients will benefit from integrating Salt Edge’s solutions via their premium ErsteConnect API.

The Erste Group already uses Salt Edge’s Account Information solution to enable multi-banking for its customers through the George banking app in Austria and Romania. This feature provides the award-winning app users with a comprehensive, 360-degree view of all their finances in one place, allowing them to easily connect their Erste or any other Romanian and Austrian bank accounts and view all their transactions.

However, the true advantage of multi-banking extends beyond the convenience of consolidating various accounts on a single screen. It allows users to see their complete financial picture rather than just isolated pieces, fostering a deeper understanding and financial well-being.

In addition to retail solutions, Erste Group’s corporate clients will benefit from integrating Salt Edge’s solutions via their premium ErsteConnect API. This API provides a single, secure access point for managing finances across Erste Group and other banks in the CEE region.

It supports both Account Information and Payment Initiation Services, allowing seamless integration into existing ERP systems or custom solutions, significantly improving operational efficiency and financial oversight for corporate clients.

“Our partnership with Salt Edge has enabled us to offer multi-banking services to both retail and corporate customers. The expertise in Open Banking and extensive PSD2 connectivity across the CEE region have empowered us to deliver secure and efficient access to account information and in initiating payments,” said Tim Wanzelee, Product Owner Group Open Banking, Erste Group

Salt Edge’s extensive connectivity with various banks in the CEE region eliminates the need for Erste Group to individually onboard and maintain connections with multiple banks. This dynamic registration capability streamlines the onboarding process, saving time and resources while expanding the range of available connections to meet customer needs.

“We are thrilled to be the preferred technology provider of account aggregation and payment initiation services for one of Eastern Europe’s largest financial institutions, serving nearly 16 million customers in the region. Together with Erste Group, we empower users with enhanced financial insights and control, driving the future of banking in the CEE region. We look forward to supporting Erste Group’s mission to provide superior financial management solutions,” said Erica Virlan, VP of Sales, Salt Edge.
