Fabrick, Italy’s first open banking ecosystem that operates internationally to promote Open Finance, announces the strengthening of its collaboration with Microsoft Italia with the aim of leveraging Cloud Computing and new technologies to continue to develop innovative projects capable of accelerating the digital transformation of the financial world. As part of the partnership, Fabrick’s unique offer will become part of the Microsoft Commercial Marketplace, Microsoft's financial ecosystem that already includes more than 17,000 globally certified apps and services. This collaboration will enable Fabrick to strengthen its presence in the corporate market, both domestically and internationally, allowing for multiple companies across Europe to benefit from the new Open Banking and Open Payment solutions.

The agreement will see Fabrick collaborate with Microsoft Italia to further enhance its approach to financial sector innovation, based on the ability to openly integrate third-party services for the rapid development of digital, personalized and affordable products and services. These services will be centered on the needs of advanced end users and capitalize on the flexibility, scalability and security of the Microsoft Azure cloud platform, as well as the most advanced features of Artificial Intelligence and Integrated Data Analysis.

The Personal Finance Management solution is already available and enables end customers to view and manage their money whether it is in a different bank or bank accounts all from a single app, providing a complete and real-time view of their resources, in line with PSD2 regulations. With this in mind, further Open Finance services will be developed, in order to transfer the benefits and reliability of Azure Cloud to corporate partners. Azure Cloud boasts over 60 Datacenter Regions globally and offers absolute and robust cybersecurity and privacy guarantees with more than 90 compliance standards including GDPR.
