Oslo, 22 April 2026: Mastercard and Aritma have announced a strategic partnership to further develop the Aritma Finance Manager Platform, a platform designed to simplify and standardise ERP connectivity for businesses across the Nordics.
The collaboration combines Mastercard’s global leadership in payments and financial services with Aritma’s strong expertise in B2B payments and ERP integration. As part of Mastercard’s commitment to unlocking the potential of its partners, the companies will deliver smarter payment experiences and a stronger financial foundation for Nordic businesses.
Aritma completed the acquisition of Programekonomi in Sweden last year, and the strategic rationale behind this move is directly linked to Aritma’s and Mastercard’s shared ambition for Finance Manager in the Nordic market.
Access to advanced services
Through the partnership, new and existing Aritma customers will gain access to advanced services, including Mastercard Integrated Business, a solution that streamlines financial workflows, increases operational efficiency, and strengthens the connection between ERP systems, banks and payment services.
"This partnership is a natural next step in strengthening the financial infrastructure that Nordic businesses rely on every day. By combining Mastercard’s capabilities with Aritma’s integration expertise, we are creating a seamless platform, increasing transparency and supporting growing businesses. Our shared ambition is to make financial operations simpler, smarter and more connected across the Nordics,” says Magnus Egeberg, Managing Director of Mastercard Payment Services.
What the partnership includes
Strategic collaboration: Aritma will lead the development, rollout and commercialisation of the Aritma Finance Manager Platform, while Mastercard will contribute its expertise in value-added services, innovation and scalable financial infrastructure.
Customer benefits: Businesses will gain access to seamless bank connectivity, leading financial management tools and integrated payment services that reduce complexity and provide better operational control.
Shared vision: Mastercard and Aritma share the goal of empowering Nordic businesses with secure and scalable financial solutions tailored to ERP environments and aligned with the latest regulatory requirements.
“For Aritma, this partnership represents a strong opportunity to accelerate innovation for our customers. Nordic businesses are demanding faster, more reliable and more integrated financial processes. Together with Mastercard, we are delivering exactly that. By integrating our platform with Mastercard’s services, we are raising expectations of what businesses should require from their ERP and financial infrastructure,” says Thor Kristian Seth, CEO of Aritma.
The partnership marks the beginning of a closer collaboration between the two companies, with plans for joint initiatives and service enhancements in the years ahead. Together, Mastercard and Aritma will continue to support Nordic businesses with solutions that simplify financial operations and strengthen the region’s digital infrastructure.
