The Swedish digital service provider Knowit has entered into a strategic partnership with the global provider of financial technology solutions Bottomline, to bring innovative solutions to the Nordic market.

Knowit has a strong local presence and expertise in system integration in the Nordics, while Bottomline brings its wide range of possibilities and international experience in payments, messaging and connectivity.

As a consulting organization with a combination of IT, software, design and management expertise, Knowit specializes in digital transformation projects. All disciplines come together to help acquire, develop and implement innovative solutions for their customers. Complementing this capability, Bottomline offers a SaaS-based API-enabled platform to help banks and non-bank financial institutions process payments, securities and financial messages.

“We are excited to partner with Bottomline to bring innovative connectivity to banks, non-bank financial institutions (NBFIs) and payment service providers (PSPs) in the Nordic market,” said Rune Ivarsflaten, head of Dploy, a FinTech solution from Knowit.

“Our role as Bottomline’s integration partner in the Nordics will allow us to provide our customers with seamless integration of Bottomline’s solutions and services. This combination gives our customers the best of both worlds – global opportunities and local understanding, said Espen Vindegg, Partner Integration Manager in Dploy.

“We are happy to collaborate with Knowit – to be a Nordic powerhouse for digital solutions as they say. By integrating with our software, Knowit will play an important role in providing financial institutions with a single point of access to multiple payment networks. This partnership helps us expand our footprint into the Nordics, offering organizations the local knowledge and support they need to succeed, said Vitus Rotzer, CRO of Financial Messaging for Bottomline.

This partnership builds on each other’s strengths and creates an ideal solution for Nordic banks that want to successfully utilize several national and cross-border payment networks and schemes.
