The great and the good of the FinTech, financial services and investment communities once again gathered for the annual Finovate Europe event in London this week.
The two-day event saw 70 emerging (and some more well-established) tech companies showcase their innovations in seven-minute demo slots.
The ‘best of show’ winners from across both Monday and Tuesday were revealed last night as:
• Avoka for its three-minute loan application, that promises to deliver the fastest onboarding experience in the world
• CoinJar for its technology that enables consumers to buy, sell, and use digital and traditional forms of currency any way they want – from dollars to bitcoins
• ebankIT for its omnichannel and social banking solution that maximizes interaction between FIs and their clients
• eToro for its innovations in social trading and investing for Generation Y
• Jumio for its credentials management technology, Netverify, that turns mobile devices into ID document scanning terminals
• mBank & i3D for its new, interactive, digital retail branch concept
• Meniga for Market Match, its transaction data analytics and enrichment engine.
Look out for a wider review of this year’s Finovate in the next issue of FStech.
