MILAN, Nov. 2 (Class Editori) -- Direct access to Alibaba.com, the largest B2B marketplace in the world, with a presence in 190 countries worldwide and with over 160 million registered operators, is one of the advantages that UniCredit offers SMEs through the Easy Export service, a platform that the banking group is implementing by extending accessibility on favorable terms to small companies belonging to Confapi.
Andrea Casini, UniCredit's co-CEO commercial banking Italy, and Maurizio Casasco, president of Confapi, have today signed an agreement that will allow member companies of the Italian Small and Medium Business Confederation to access, on favorable terms, a package of services to high added value designed and offered exclusively by the Banking Group to simplify and encourage digital export of Italian SMEs.
Among these services there is also the possibility of a privileged access for the activities of providing credit and export insurance with Sace Simest the internationalization and export center of the CDP Group, with which, still today, Unicredit signed a further agreement.
