Hendrik and Olivier<\/strong> \u2013 How time flies! 100 days have already passed since Contovista was acquired by Finnova. What has happened since then? And what has changed?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hendrik:<\/strong>\u00a0We\u2019ve achieved a lot in this time! Let\u2019s start by speaking about our team. The new leadership team at Contovista boasts a combination of experienced and newer minds who all have one thing in common: a burning passion for data-driven banking.<\/p>\n<p>The Finnova Analytical Framework (FAF) team joined forces with Contovista employees, with the integration running successfully since day 1. We are currently still in discussion with further creative talents. But we\u2019re also making good progress with our products! The roadmap for the second half of the year has been approved and is now being implemented. We\u2019ve also drawn up a backlog with exciting topics for 2023.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Olivier<\/strong>:\u00a0Our new leadership team has been working together exceptionally well. I am delighted that we can continue working in a stable and well-coordinated manner. In addition to the organisational and operational issues that have arisen as a result of the takeover, I personally am thrilled that we\u2019re launching the Carbon Footprint Manager as part of our summer release \u2013 this is something that\u2019s so important to us.<\/p>      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/section>\n\n\r\n<section class=\"image section logo-color logo-color-dark\" >\r\n  <div class=\"container\">\r\n    <div class=\"image__wrapper\">\r\n\r\n  \r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" \r\n        src=\"https:\/\/www.contovista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220725-Contovista-Blog-Post-Interview-Oliver_4-1.jpg\" \r\n        alt=\"\"\r\n        caption=\"\"\r\n        description=\"\">\r\n\r\n      \r\n      \r\n    <\/div>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/section>  \n\n\r\n<section class=\"title-copy section logo-color logo-color-dark\"  >\r\n  <div class=\"container\">\r\n    <div class=\"title-copy__wrapper\">\r\n          <div class=\"textbox\">\r\n        <p><strong>2. Hendrik, what is your vision for the future of Finnova and Contovista?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Hendrik:<\/strong>\u00a0Finnova and Contovista share the firm conviction that data is becoming increasingly important \u2013 whether in the areas of fraud, compliance, upselling, security or data-driven banking. We have now established a team of almost 50 employees who bring a great deal of expertise and experience in data-driven banking. We have extensive know-how in various disciplines such as data science, UX, frontend development and backend integration. This puts us in an incredibly strong position in the Swiss market.<\/p>\n<p>However, we would now like to develop this area even further. Our priority is to expand our portfolio with numerous product innovations while also acquiring new customers in Germany and abroad. In serving our customers, we want to place particular emphasis on personal relationships so that we can respond to needs in a very targeted manner.<\/p>\n<p>All in all, data-driven banking will be a crucial pillar for us in the future. All the more so because all products and solutions from this area can be used independently of the core banking system. This means that they can be scaled more extensively \u2013 a massive benefit from the point of view of Finnova\/Contovista, as well as for the community.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Olivier, how do you see it? What can customers look forward to now and in the future?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Olivier:<\/strong>\u00a0One thing is crystal clear: our customers can continue to expect innovative solutions from Contovista. We are continuously investing in data-driven banking and now have even more resources for this. The shared products of Finnova and Contovista are being strengthened, and development is in full swing. Together we want to use our combined strength to continue working on a forward-looking, data-driven banking ecosystem for Switzerland.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. A question about integration and collaboration: Oliver, how is that going for you and the Contovista team? Have you noticed any synergies yet?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Olivier:<\/strong>\u00a0Yes! Synergies are very noticeable, especially at a product level. Many of our products complement each other really well, e.g. the Finnova Analytical Framework and the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.contovista.com\/enrichment\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Contovista Enrichment Engine (EE)<\/a>. The\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.contovista.com\/personal-finance-manager\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Personal Finance Manager (PFM)<\/a>\u00a0enriches e-banking. Integration at an employee level also has many advantages: the Contovista team benefits from Finnova\u2019s experience while being able to maintain its own traits and values. And of course, Finnova also benefits from our strengths and knowledge!<\/p>\n<p>Cross-team communication has been established and cooperation strengthened. And there are already some new colleagues from the Finnova headquarters in Lenzburg working for us in Schlieren, and vice versa.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Hendrik and Olivier, let\u2019s talk in a little more detail about the benefits for customers. What is currently their biggest challenge, and how do they benefit from this merger?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Hendrik:\u00a0<\/strong>The topic of data is becoming increasingly decisive for banks. We are currently observing that the Finnova Analytical Framework is being widely used for compliance and risk issues. There is obviously a great need for effective tools here. If I as a bank want to identify money laundering in an automated way or have to detect misuse early on, then I need tools that enable me to do this efficiently due to the sheer volume of data. This topic is of paramount importance, but it causes little joy for banks. This makes the support provided by our technology all the more valuable.<\/p>\n<p>Banks take more pleasure in customer insights and customer experience than in addressing risks and complying with regulations. In these areas, too, we offer innovative solutions with the Contovista products and the Finnova Analytical Framework. On the one hand, banks can offer their customers a superior experience and personalised support with our Personal Finance Manager (PFM) and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.contovista.com\/business-finance-manager\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Business Finance Manager (BFM)<\/a>\u00a0products. This strengthens customer loyalty and boosts customer satisfaction. On the other hand, the Enrichment Engine and the Finnova Analytical Framework can provide customer advisors with insights into customer behaviour, enabling them to provide better, more personalised advice. They can offer targeted banking products that generate added value to individual customers.<\/p>\n<p>With data-driven banking, we already offer a wide range of products that benefit banks and their customers in a variety of ways. Together we will now further optimise and expand this portfolio. The improved integration of Contovista products and the Finnova Analytical Framework FAF alone offers considerable synergies and potential for customers.<\/p>\n<p>And last but not least, the larger our shared customer base, the more data we can evaluate within our community. This increases the value of the solutions as well as generating extra added value for our customers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Olivier:\u00a0<\/strong>Generally speaking, our customers have to adapt to the evolved expectations and requirements of end customers and reinvent themselves as an organisation. This also applies to the vital issue of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.contovista.com\/co2-tracking-through-transactional-analytics\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">sustainability<\/a>. Our products facilitate personal relationships with customers, enabling us to tailor offers accordingly. For example, this summer we launched the Carbon Footprint Manager, which automatically estimates the carbon footprint of purchases.<\/p>      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/section>\n\n\r\n<section class=\"quote section logo-color logo-color-dark\"  >\r\n  <div class=\"container\">\r\n    <div class=\"quote__wrapper\">\r\n      <p class=\"dark-sky-80\">\u00abOur products facilitate personal relationships with customers, enabling us to tailor offers accordingly. For example, this summer we launched the Carbon Footprint Manager, which automatically estimates the carbon footprint of purchases.\u00bb<\/p>\r\n      <p class=\"fw700\"><\/p>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n<section class=\"title-copy section logo-color logo-color-dark\"  >\r\n  <div class=\"container\">\r\n    <div class=\"title-copy__wrapper\">\r\n          <div class=\"textbox\">\r\n        <p>With such offerings, we are increasingly better able to meet the needs of our customers. Firstly, we support banks in the difficult process of meeting evolving expectations. Young customers, for example, attach great importance to a cool user experience or sustainability, but they no longer want to pay for products where the value add is not obvious to them and have little interest in traditional banking services.<\/p>\n<p>Second, today\u2019s customers want personalised offers, just as they\u2019re accustomed to in other areas of the digital world. And banks want that as well. After all, banks become more relevant by having greater proximity to their customers and by fostering a personal relationship with them: making tailored offers that add value to their everyday lives.<\/p>      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/section>\n\n\r\n<section class=\"quote section logo-color logo-color-dark\"  >\r\n  <div class=\"container\">\r\n    <div class=\"quote__wrapper\">\r\n      <p class=\"dark-sky-80\">\u00abBanks become more relevant by having greater proximity to their customers and by fostering a personal relationship with them: making tailored offers that add value to their everyday lives.\u00bb<\/p>\r\n      <p class=\"fw700\"><\/p>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n<section class=\"title-copy section logo-color logo-color-dark\"  >\r\n  <div class=\"container\">\r\n    <div class=\"title-copy__wrapper\">\r\n          <div class=\"textbox\">\r\n        <p>And third, banks today urgently need new sources of revenue. We can help in this regard too, e.g. through the \u201cnext best product\u201d or targeted segmentation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6. Hendrik, one more question for you: what can existing customers expect from Contovista? What do you think will change for them with Finnova \u2013 and what won\u2019t?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Hendrik:<\/strong>\u00a0For Contovista\u2019s existing customers, I envision a whole range of benefits arising from this new arrangement. Contovista is now part of a product solution provider whose core business is to develop solutions for financial institutions.<\/p>\n<p>This means that Contovista benefits from Finnova\u2019s proven know-how, the breadth of existing banking and technology experts, and its understanding of sustainable product development and efficient operations.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, data-driven banking is an independent department within Finnova, or if you will, an independent competence centre. This helps to maintain Contovista\u2019s FinTech character. In addition, Contovista boasts many years of experience \u2013 or to put in another way, Swiss dominance \u2013 as a provider of products such as PFM, BFM and EE. All in all, there is now a high degree of professionalism and agility, from which all existing customers can benefit.<\/p>\n<p>Product development is the number one priority. For Finnova, data is of strategic importance. We are used to investing in products upfront and can do so on a scale that wouldn\u2019t be possible for a company the size of Contovista.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cFinnova banks\u201d among our existing customers can expect further synergies that we will unlock between the product portfolios of Contovista and Finnova, such as integrating PFM data into the Advisor Workbench (AWB). It goes without saying, however, that the \u201cnon-Finnova banks\u201d among Contovista\u2019s customers will also reap the benefits of the many innovations we are planning.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, we see great potential to acquire further customers at home and abroad. In other words, customers can expect to enjoy an even larger community. The products scale better on the cost side, and the data quality also increases even further.<\/p>      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/section>\n\n\r\n<section class=\"image section logo-color logo-color-dark\" >\r\n  <div class=\"container\">\r\n    <div class=\"image__wrapper\">\r\n\r\n  \r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" \r\n        src=\"https:\/\/www.contovista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220725-Contovista-Blog-Post-Interview-Oliver_5.png\" \r\n        alt=\"\"\r\n        caption=\"\"\r\n        description=\"\">\r\n\r\n      \r\n      \r\n    <\/div>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/section>  \n\n\r\n<section class=\"title-copy section logo-color logo-color-dark\"  >\r\n  <div class=\"container\">\r\n    <div class=\"title-copy__wrapper\">\r\n          <div class=\"textbox\">\r\n        <p><strong>7. Olivier, I\u2019d like to finish with a question for you: where do you personally see the data-driven banking unit within Finnova in 5 years? What are your ambitions as a team for the data-driven banking unit?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Olivier:<\/strong>\u00a0In principle, data-driven decisions, solutions and offers can be integrated across the board. This is also an urgent need, as today\u2019s banking services will be increasingly taken over by BigTechs in the coming years. We need to support banks on their journey towards developing future-proof offerings, remaining relevant and not losing the customer interface.<\/p>      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/section>\n\n\r\n<section class=\"quote section logo-color logo-color-dark\"  >\r\n  <div class=\"container\">\r\n    <div class=\"quote__wrapper\">\r\n      <p class=\"dark-sky-80\">\u00abSupporting banks on their journey towards developing future-proof offerings, remaining relevant and not losing the customer interface.\u00bb<\/p>\r\n      <p class=\"fw700\"><\/p>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n<section class=\"title-copy section logo-color logo-color-dark\"  >\r\n  <div class=\"container\">\r\n    <div class=\"title-copy__wrapper\">\r\n          <div class=\"textbox\">\r\n        <p>The aim is to make daily banking much easier and seamless for me as a customer while also providing financial education through appropriate products.

Our solutions provide customers with improved insights and understanding (understand) and empower them (coach) to make their financial lives even better and easier (enable).<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the aforementioned carbon footprint, MAP4 (the new generation of the Finnova Mobile Application), personalised product recommendations, and even more accurate data enrichment thanks to the Enrichment Engine, there are a number of other innovations we are working on. Of course, it all depends on the market conditions. In any case, we plan to further expand and bolster our expertise in artificial intelligence and the Enrichment Engine. And so we will continue to set data-driven standards and offer solutions \u2013 both in Switzerland and beyond!<\/p>      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/section>\n\n \r\n<section class=\"section articles logo-color logo-color-dark\"  > \r\n  <div class=\"container\">\r\n      <h2>  \r\n      This might also interest you    <\/h2>\r\n  \r\n        \r\n   \r\n\r\n\r\n    <div \r\n      class=\"articles__wrapper articles__wrapper--slider flex row fww\" \r\n      data-taxonomy=\"1\">\r\n\r\n      \r\n              \r\n  \r\n                    \r\n          \r\n          <div \r\n            class=\"article article--normal column aic\" \r\n            data-post-id=\"15404\"> \r\n            <div  \r\n              class=\"article__image\" \r\n              style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/www.contovista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/20260204-Contovista-Blog-Winterrelease2026_EN-1-824x436.png)\">\r\n            <\/div>\r\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.contovista.com\/en\/aktuelles\/news\/winter-release-2026\/\" class=\"article__info\">\r\n              <h3 class=\"fw700\">Winter Release 2026<\/h3>\r\n              <div class=\"article__data flex row aic\">\r\n                <span>09.02.2026<\/span>\r\n                                <span>4 min read<\/span>\r\n              <\/div>\r\n \r\n              <p>The Winter Release 2026 improves the subscription overview in digital banking and the transaction detail view, making recurring payments visible earlier and transactions clearer.
