The collaboration aims to deploy the Palantir Foundry operating system, accelerating the bank’s digital transformation and aiding in increasing revenue and mitigating risks.

The Evolution of the Palantir-UniCredit Collaboration

The partnership between Palantir and UniCredit began in 2018 when UniCredit was seeking a technology solution to enhance its sales operations, operationalize machine learning and AI, enforce policy compliance, and improve frontline decision-making. Palantir Foundry was chosen for its integrated platform capabilities, enabling synergies across the Group and streamlining operations across entities and business lines.

Palantir Foundry’s Impact on UniCredit’s Operations

Recently, Palantir Foundry has been extended to all Central Eastern Europe & Eastern Europe (CE&EE) UniCredit Legal Entities, managing strategic use cases across the Group. Over the past five years, Palantir Foundry has significantly benefitted UniCredit’s control functions and commercial banking operations, driving efficiencies and enhancing campaign management. A notable achievement in 2023 was the four-fold increase in customer redemption of protection products, attributed to advanced analytics and propensity models within Foundry.
