The Oaklen-Utsit Era

‍

Dear Partners and Readers, As we launch the first edition of our Oaklen-Utsit newsletter, we celebrate not only the union of two leaders in the retail and B2B payments spheres, but also the reflection of an unavoidable market trend: the convergence of the B2B and B2C payments worlds.

The strategic merger of Oaklen and Utsit

‍

Oaklen, recognized for its expertise in retail payments, and Utsit, a specialist in B2B payments and cash management, have joined forces. This strategic merger is a direct response to market developments that are seeing the lines between B2B and B2C payments blur. Together, we are better equipped to navigate this changing landscape and offer innovative solutions to our clients.
