A pan-European marketplace, the Raisin platform allows customers from 31 countries to access cross-border deposit products.

The move enables illimity to expand the reach of its offerings without setting-up own retail infrastructure.

Currently, illimity’s cross-border deposit account is open for German savers. The services will be expanded gradually to other countries following approval from the respective authorities.

Illimity chief financial officer and head of Central Functions Francesco Mele said: “Entering a strategic partnership on the deposit front with a top-rate fintech such as Raisin, just a few months after the business combination, is a source of considerable pride for us.
