Satispay began as an independent payment system and network and has since shifted strategically toward the model of online banks, signing an agreement with Mastercard to issue cards to its customers. The company offers the "Paga in 3" BNPL service, which allows consumers to pay purchases in three interest-free instalments, and recently expanded investment options by introducing ETFs. It revised payment fees to waive charges for transactions under €10 and reports strong initial uptake of the "Paga in 3" product from its community. Management emphasized the service's potential both online and in high-street retail, and framed the recent securitisation as a way to grow the product sustainably.

WeSchool provides teachers with a digital classroom platform to share documents and video, set exercises, facilitate discussions, and enable group work and tests. The platform supports new methods such as the teach-to-learn approach. During the lockdown period the platform enabled over 1 million users to continue lessons via smartphone or PC.

The company's board includes Andrea Laudadio (President) for TIM, Andrea Di Camillo (P101), Anna Paola Concia and Salvo Mizzi. WeSchool is an online learning platform launched by Italian MOOC Oilproject that helps teachers bring classroom activities online and integrate third-party educational content. The product uses 'Boards' to combine videos, articles, tools and services (Khan Academy, BBC, Geogebra, Duolingo, Wikipedia, Google Docs, Dropbox, Instagram) into single learning journeys usable on any connected device. It provides teacher tools to manage deadlines and create tests with nine question types, including video quizzes, crosswords, fill-in-the-blanks and pair-the-cards, turning exercises into mini games playable on mobile and desktop. WeSchool is initially available in English, Spanish and Italian and is positioned to compete with LMS platforms like Moodle and EdModo by focusing on in-class engagement rather than distance-only MOOCs. The company plans to sell annual software-as-a-service licenses to schools and companies. WeSchool builds on Oilproject's existing scale: Oilproject reports 1.7 million unique visitors per month and more than 18,000 hours studied per day. The project was started by Marco De Rossi and the company was incorporated in 2011.
