additiv, a global leader in embedded finance, today announced  that it is supporting Coop to launch Coop Finance+, a comprehensive new app for integrated  financial services.  

At launch, Coop Finance+ offers banking products and individual pension solutions, with  plans for further expansion in the coming months. Services are powered by Hypothekarbank  Lenzburg for banking and Vanguard, OLZ, Liberty Vorsorge and Glarner Kantonalbank for  pensions. Clients can easily open savings accounts with debit cards, make online payments,  and invest in pillar 3a retirement plans. The app boasts competitive terms, above-average  retirement account interest rates, exclusive loyalty benefits and free cash withdrawals at all  1,000 Coop supermarkets and Coop City warehouses, positioning the retailer as Switzerland's largest provider of free cash withdrawals. 

Coop Finance+ significantly enhances the ease and reach of financial services. By  consolidating high-quality banking and retirement options into a single app, it simplifies what  is often a complex landscape, making these services more accessible and affordable for a  broad audience.  

additiv has supported Coop with its embedded finance platform in the design and  development of the superapp, which is fully integrated with the Coop brand and other digital  channels. The API-first cloud platform integrates and orchestrates Coop’s various financial  services partners into a seamless end-to-end customer experience. 

Michael Stemmle, founder of additiv, comments, "It has been a great pleasure to work  with Coop on the launch of such a groundbreaking new service. At additiv, we believe that  embedding financial products into everyday consumer channels will help improve  convenience and financial inclusion."
