OKEO helps customers save time and money by providing access to modern and professional banking services. Mambu’s composable platform enables OKEO to offer multi-currency foreign exchange payments, at rates up to five times better than traditional institution, and delivery times ranging from minutes to maximum one business day, irrespective of the currency chosen.
Founded in 2019 in Vilnius, Lithuania, OKEO is an all-in-one payments platform designed to maximise cost efficiency and empower businesses with greater control over their finances. The fintech provides fully-fledged business IBAN accounts and online banking with an intuitive interface that allows teams to manage their profiles, set permissions and limits, and carry out payment transactions.

In particular, they prioritised a configurable cloud-native platform that is designed for easy implementation and fast deployment, and can facilitate regulatory processes and integrations to the European payment schemes. OKEO selected Mambu and following a nine-month implementation, successfully launched its new offering.
