The partnership agreement was recently signed in Oslo and is a testament to the mutual commitment to create better, simpler and more secure payment experiences for consumers and businesses alike.

In the first instance, the contract will see EedenBull delivering a bespoke version of EedenBull’s Q Business® programme to the Eika banks and their customers, where businesses get a user-friendly system for the automation of payments, spend management, accounting and control. That means business leaders can ensure consolidation of payments onto one single platform, monitor and improve cashflow, automate accounting processes whilst significantly improve spend control across the business. The platform is built on cloud technology, and integrates with external information providers throughout the value chain, such as transaction processors and accounting systems through extensive use of APIs (Application Programming Interface).

Eika and EedenBull will be launching the new and innovative programme in multiple stages through the participating banks over the coming months.
