Rabobank's fintech scale up TreasurUp partners with KBC

“The partnership with KBC will start off with a completely new online foreign exchange environment, accessible through web and mobile, which KBC will offer to its medium-sized corporate clients. We see great value in the platform’s ability to apply hedging strategies which our corporate clients can benefit from. If the launch proves successful in Belgium, the partnership may grow into international expansion within KBC Group. The fast pace of innovation that TreasurUp offers is unique and specifically tailored to corporate end-users. This is something the bank increasingly seeks in its partners," according to Patrick Roppe, General Manager Financial Markets KBC Group.

TreasurUp offers online foreign exchange hedging and is developing new modules on foreign exchange payments and liquidity management and assert base finance. "TreasurUp has proven to meet a clear demand in the market. Nowadays, we are talking to the largest banks around the world and they really like our approach and the proven results of our platform. We are about to spin out from the bank. As an independent entity we believe we can even move faster, which is necessary in this market", according to Niels van Daatselaar, CEO of TreasurUp.

KBC is the third major bank to work with TreasurUp, following successful partnerships with Rabobank and the Finnish OP Financial Group.
