About Us
What Drives Us
Payments are becoming increasingly complex, and regulatory demands continue to rise. Unifits makes testing simple. Our end-to-end test solutions help financial institutions navigate these challenges with confidence – delivering the highest precision and complete coverage.
One provider. Limitless possibilities.
About Us
Our Roots
Unifits was born out of necessity during Europe’s SEPA migration. In 2010, two IT and payments experts recognized that generic automation tools couldn’t handle the unique demands of ISO 20022 testing and scheme compliance. To bridge this gap, Unifits was founded in Munich, and a completely new solution was built from the ground up.
From the very beginning, we worked with commercial banks and Central Banks to develop a platform that doesn’t just meet financial institutions’ standards – it exceeds them. Today, that same commitment to precision and innovation drives everything we do.
