The Matchi FinTech Innovation Challenge was launched with the intention to discover six prominent FinTech firms from the around the world, and to introduce them as possible long-term development partners to the participating Member Banks at the Matchi Innovation Sponsor Summit in South Africa - as sponsored and hosted this year by Standard Bank.
The challenge received a total of 60 qualifying responses from firms located in 16 countries that span across Europe, USA, UK, Asia, Middle East, Australasia and Africa.
The Top 6 firms (along with the 14 runner-up firms) have also won exhibition space at the Standard Bank Fintech Innovation Showcase on 5 December in Johannesburg. All exhibitors at this boutique event will meet and demo their response to Innovation leads from Matchi Sponsor Banks (including Standard Bank, Caixa Bank, Bank Hapoalim, Mashreq Bank, ANZ Bank), as well as KPMG UK, invited accelerators, investors and local media.
BCL Technologies will be presenting its technology for Financial Text Extraction, funded in part by the US National Science Foundation. The first use of this technology will be the extraction of all financial data from Earnings Releases in minutes, saving hours over the current manual process.
