Digital Transactions Authoritative, insightful and timely information for payments professionals
Verifone Inc. announced early Wednesday it has expanded its partnership with payments-solutions provider Unzer Group GmbH. Verifone will integrate its hardware and processing technology into Unzer’s UnzerOne platform.
The expanded partnership will enable merchants to deploy a unified payment system from checkout to payout across in-store and online channels, Verifone says.
UnzerOne is a cloud-based payment platform that integrates online, mobile, and in-store transactions into a single system. In addition, merchants will receive real-time data and customer analytics, while having backend processes automated through a single interface.
Unzer and Verifone are initially making the integrated UnzerOne platform available to merchants in Germany, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Finland. Expansion into other countries is scheduled through 2026.
“By combining our new generation Android hardware and acquiring processing power with Unzer’s market-leading software, we are creating a robust payment grid for European merchants,” Prasanna Narayan, a Verifone executive vice president and head of product for the terminal maker, says in a statement. “This partnership showcases how our open ecosystem enables partners to deliver … payment experiences that help businesses secure their commerce infrastructure.”
In related news, MANTL, a cloud-based digital-banking technology provider for U.S. financial institutions, has partnered with MeridianLink, a lending-platform provider also serving financial institutions, to provide optional integrated point-of-sale solutions to mutual clients.
The POS solution supports instant approvals for loans, automated know-your-customer checks, seamless application transfers, and a unified customer experience across loans and deposits. As a result, financial institutions can boost loan-conversion rates, identify cross-selling opportunities and personalized offers during the account-origination workflow, and approve or deny loan applicants in real time, MANTL says.
MANTL was acquired by Alkami Technology Inc. in February 2025 for $400 million.
“We believe innovation means making modern lending accessible, not just powerful,” Benjamin Conant, chief product officer for Alkami and a co-founder of MANTL, says in a statement “Our integration with MeridianLink allows us to deliver our digital-lending experience to institutions that want to modernize their consumer experience.”
Conant adds that, regardless of how much technology a financial institution has already adopted, it “can offer a fintech-grade lending experience that grows relationships through hyper-personalized cross-sells, automation, and digital-first loan origination.”
