Italian bank illimity has strengthened its UX product offering to its customers by becoming the latest financial institution in the country to enlist the services of viafintech.
As a result of the partnership, customers of illimitybank.com – the illimity Group’s digital direct bank – will be able to deposit funds using the new viafintech feature in their Mobile Banking app, using a network of over 1000 points of sale throughout Italy.
The new feature will allow consumers to conduct transactions in a ‘simple and fast process,’ generating a barcode directly to the app, which can be scanned at the checkout of viafintech’s retail partners. Transactions will become automatically visible in the customer’s account.
