Alfa also offers integration with APIs, enabling UTB to connect with brokers’ proposal systems.

Workato will work by enabling both business and IT teams to integrate their apps and automate their workflows. APIs provided by Alfa will be used by Workato to build what they refer to as ‘recipes’ for all the services that the lender wishes to integrate.

United Trust Bank head of asset finance Nathan Mollett said: “The combination of Alfa and Workato will give us the ability to build a superbly specced operational platform which will simplify and accelerate deals, improve service and give us the scalability to achieve our growth objectives.

“This is a significant investment in technology which will bring many operational benefits not just to UTB’s Asset Finance business but to the Bank as a whole.”

Workato VP and GM of EMEA Robert Ekstrom said: “We are really excited about partnering with UTB and enabling the Bank to connect to and get the most out of its new core Asset Finance digital platform. Undertaking a digital transformation project can be challenging; however, UTB will reap the benefits from investing in this technology.”
