Workato VP and GM of EMEA Robert Ekstrom said: “We are really excited about partnering with UTB and enabling the Bank to connect to and get the most out of its new core Asset Finance digital platform. Undertaking a digital transformation project can be challenging; however, UTB will reap the benefits from investing in this technology.”
