Accenture and UniCredit deepen banking and AI technology partnership
Late July 2026, UniCredit announced a long-term collaboration with Accenture and IBM to redesign its banking technology model across 13 European markets. Accenture will acquire IBM’s majority stake in their joint technology venture, while IBM will provide modernized platforms such as IBM Z, subject to regulatory approvals. The deal supports expectations for higher revenue and earnings growth for Accenture.
