Alisa Bank and Accountor introduce a new type of business bank account
ALISA BANK PLC PRESS RELEASE 23.4.2024 AT 14.10 EEST
Alisa Bank and Accountor are launching a business bank account called Tilia+ for Procountor’s Finnish customers. The Tilia+ is a current account for companies offered by Alisa Bank, which includes a bank connection to Procountor. Procountor is used by nearly 90 000 companies in Finland, to whom the service will be offered. The Tilia+ is scheduled to be available to Procountor customers during the summer of 2024.
The Tilia+ is an affordable solution for companies that want to save on fees charged through a bank connection. The Tilia+ does not include transaction-specific costs compared to traditional business bank accounts. A customer only pays a fixed monthly fee for the service. In addition to this, deposits on the Tilia+ business accounts are paid a competitive interest rate.

Furthermore, Alisa Bank and Accountor plan to launch an investigation to find out if Alisa Bank’s other banking and financial services could also be offered to Procountor’s customers.
The Tilia+ business account is part of the BaaS (Banking-as-a-Service) collaboration between Alisa Bank and Accountor. The cooperation is based on Alisa Bank's strategy, where banking and financial services are offered in the channels and moments when companies and consumers manage their financial affairs. BaaS services are planned to form a significant pillar for Alisa Bank's growth in the future. The bank's technological know-how enables the implementation of these integrated services in an agile and efficient manner.
Juha Saari, Interim CEO, Alisa Bank: "We are very excited about starting the collaboration and the opportunity to offer banking services that truly serve SMEs better together with the leading Finnish provider of financial management software solutions called Accountor. Alisa Bank's goal is to offer integrated digital banking services where they are needed daily. Offering integrated services on Procountor’s financial management software is a significant step in advancing the bank's strategy and providing smoother banking services to SMEs."
"The Tilia+ is a step towards better banking services for small businesses. Data transfer between a bank account and a financial management software is perhaps the biggest challenge of banking services for small businesses and we want to solve this. The Tilia+ truly helps all stakeholders who use Procountor," says Mikko Soirola, Accountor CEO, Software.
