Case Study: Municipality Finance achieves unified risk and accounting operations with ION Openlink

Municipality Finance reimagines public sector finance and risk management for Finland first Finnish issuer to launch green bonds

Municipality Finance (MuniFin), Finland's second-largest credit institution dedicated to public sector financing, faced the challenge of modernizing its operations across capital markets, risk management, and IT. With tightening budgets and a need for greater transparency, they required a unified system for deal management. MuniFin selected ION Treasury and its ION Openlink solution to achieve straight-through processing and create a single source of truth for their diverse operations.

ION Treasury implemented its ION Openlink platform, working with MuniFin to replace legacy systems and integrate workflows from front to back office. The solution streamlined accounting, eliminated redundant data entry, and supported compliance with new regulations, including the transition to risk-free rates. This provided MuniFin with enhanced visibility and the scalable platform needed to launch new instruments like green bonds, strengthening their ability to provide competitive financing for Finnish public projects.
