About us

Cobase is a leading technology provider that helps organizations take control of their banking, payments, and treasury operations. Our multi-bank Treasury platform was designed from the ground up to eliminate the inefficiencies of fragmented corporate banking infrastructures. By unifying essential financial processes into one platform.

Our purpose

To simplify and centralize banking and treasury operations. Removing friction, increasing control, and enabling finance professionals to focus on strategic value.

Built for modern finance teams

The Cobase platform was built from the ground up to overcome the inefficiencies of fragmented banking infrastructures. By consolidating key processes like payments, cash management, and FX into a single interface, Cobase gives CFOs, finance directors, and treasurers real-time visibility and control across all their financial activities.

From banking innovation to independent growth

Founded in 2017 and incubated within ING Bank, Cobase combines deep expertise in banking, treasury, and enterprise software. Our founding team recognized early on that legacy systems no longer met the needs of modern finance teams. Today, Cobase continues to lead the evolution of treasury technology, delivering solutions that reduce complexity and enhance operational resilience.

Global reach, sector-wide impact

Cobase supports clients in over 90 countries, serving more than 5,000 end-users across a wide range of sectors. From logistics and manufacturing to private equity and healthcare. Cobase joined Alpha Group International in 2023, strengthening its global footprint as part of a London-listed financial services organization.
