Nexi and Engineering Group: NOVA, advanced digital banking platform, is born

Comprehensive, scalable and customizable, NOVA will bring concrete benefits to European banks and businesses: a unique competence center in Europe that will ensure innovation, high specialization and multi-country operations

Nexi, the leading PayTech in Europe, and Engineering Group, international leader in the digitalization of processes for businesses and Public Administration, will develop a business partnership in digital banking and give life to NOVA, a technology platform designed for different business segments from SMEs to Large Corporate, characterized by a configurable service portfolio and a modular, natively open and cloud-oriented architecture. A new solution that will bring together the best of the expertise and proprietary solutions of the two leading companies in the industry.

Thanks to this solution, Enterprises - through their Financial Institutions of reference - will be able to benefit from the most advanced "Digital Corporate Banking" functionalities through a single platform, capable of responding to the needs of every sector and business scale, offering maximum flexibility, customized tools and interfaces, high scalability and high operational efficiency.

Expected benefits also for Financial Institutions: in fact, NOVA will enable them a personalized management of Digital Corporate Banking solutions for businesses through the accelerated implementation of new services and an ecosystem of offerings based on their own and partner products such that management costs are optimized.

The partnership between Nexi and Engineering Group will also ensure the best specialized skills by combining the experience and know-how of the PayTech, which in corporate banking already manages more than 500 thousand locations, and the specialized skills of the 15 thousand employees of Engineering Group, present in 70 locations located in Europe, the United States and South America.

This is an agreement for the growth of a market that will give a significant boost to the remote banking offering, a strategic channel for the future of corporate and small business banking, for the success of which a specialized approach and strong investments are essential for its development.

Renato Martini, Digital Banking Solutions Director at Nexi Group, commented:

“Thanks to this collaboration, we are providing banks with a state-of-the-art platform capable of offering a solution tailored to all businesses, guaranteeing them maximum flexibility, broad service coverage and modularity, and customization possibilities."  

"This is a radical leap in the ecosystem of digital banking services for businesses as until now, there had been a lack of a single technology platform dedicated to businesses that served both large and small businesses, the latter of which are now typically managed with variants of the private”.

"With NOVA, we offer all European Financial Institutions a tool designed to manage ecosystems designed and built for different business segments.
