UMT has announced a new cooperation deal with Cologne-based B2B start-up Evy Solutions to provide payments services to its customer base. The Evy app is a digital assistant that enables private individuals and entrepreneurs to manage incoming mail, which is over an app-based platform. The deal with UMT will enable Evy to add app-based invoice payment to its range of services. Evy intends to roll out the service across Europe and expects transaction volumes in a three-digit million range in coming years. UMT will derive set-up fees under the contract as well as transaction fees from payments it processes over the platform. We see the deal as a good way to showcase UMT’s payment abilities to the B2B market after its successes in the retail market with the Payback scheme.
