Raisin is transforming open banking in the deposits and investments sector, leveraging its infrastructure to benefit bankers and savers in the global $50+ trillion deposit market. The company operates several B2C platforms, including Raisin, WeltSparen, Savedo, and ZINSPILOT in Europe and the UK, and SaveBetter in the US.
