I'm incredibly proud to see the impact that tax-free shopping is having on Italy's economy from our article with Il Sole 24 Ore. The recent surge in tourism and tax-free purchases is a testament to the country's enduring appeal and the effectiveness of this program. 📈 But we can't stop there. At utu, we believe that tax-free shopping has the potential to be a transformative force for tourism. The current VAT refund industry has been limited to being efficient processors of refunds, an administrative service. We envision a future where VAT refunds are kept within the Italian economy, creating a virtuous cycle of spending that benefits everyone – tourists, businesses, and the country as a whole. 🔄 Imagine a future where tourists are incentivized to spend their refunds at local shops and restaurants, discovering hidden gems and supporting businesses. This not only enhances the visitor experience but also injects vital funds into the economy, creating jobs and fostering growth. 🌱 We're already seeing this vision come to life through our partnerships with innovative brands like Coccinelle. Together, we're reimagining the tax-free shopping experience and unlocking its full potential. 🤝 Let's continue to push the boundaries and make Italy a global leader in tax-free shopping. The future is bright, and together, we can make it even brighter! ✨ #TaxFreeShopping #Italy #Tourism #TravelTech #Innovation #utu #TravelFintech #Coccinelle #ShopLocal #EconomicGrowth

Insurance is long term commitment and investment. It's a regulation heavy and finance savvy domain. It is emotional sensitive subject and hence needs human touch via agent. Insurance distribution is an art and significant differentiator ( maybe a little more than underwriting). Having said that digital experiences within this will be differentiator and game changer for insurers. Good read for an insurance practitioner

Eleven years ago, Alberto and I decided to embark on this adventure called Satispay. There was just one certainty: the desire to remove the friction around payments and make it seamless, around the people and for the people. True to that mindset, we realized some time ago that Satispay was transitioning into a larger and more mature stage, yet our brand identity was still the same. So we worked to determine how the Satispay brand would change to meet this new growth phase.  Today, we are introducing you to the new Satispay. And, while some things may appear to be different, our ultimate purpose is the same - make it simply about People Paying People.

€60M Secured. But Here’s the Real Growth Story. But Satispay just proved: it’s not about money ,it’s about strategy. Here’s how they’re turning funding into firepower: • Smart acquisitions: Buying value, not just bragging rights. • Merchant growth: More merchants = more transactions = unstoppable momentum. • User-first focus: 5M users today, building loyalty for tomorrow. • Redefining benefits: Fringe perks like meal tickets are reshaping entire markets. •Team expansion: From 280 to 670 employees ,and still hiring for the future. The result? €45M in net revenue, up from €28M last year, and a trajectory to dominate. Satispay didn’t just raise capital, they raised the bar. What’s your next move if €60M lands in your lap?

Today I had the pleasure of participating in 𝗖𝗜𝗢 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝘆 𝗛𝗨𝗕, a day of study and research entitled ‘𝗥𝗘𝗚𝗨𝗟𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 𝗗𝗥𝗜𝗩𝗘𝗡 𝗜𝗧’ at CeTIF - Centro di Ricerca su Tecnologie, Innovazione e servizi Finanziari. With Mihai Carstoiu, we talked about the ESG journey that began for the UniCredit Group several years ago, certainly driven by regulatory requirements such as the "Guide on climate-related and environmental risks", but also by business need. From the beginning, we have recognized the need to keep pace with the rapid emergence of new requirements by enhancing our digital capabilities. To this end, we have developed a modern and flexible platform capable of centralizing both internal and external data, which is crucial for the ESG sector.
