FinovateSpring Best of Show Winners Named

By Jim Bruene on May 10, 2012 12:20 AM

Our fifth annual FinovateSpring in San Francisco concluded a few hours ago. After seeing 63 demos over two packed days, the audience voted for their three favorites each day. The top seven overall were named Best of Show (see notes).

The winners (in alphabetic order):

  • BehavioSec for its new security layer based on user typing/swiping patterns
  • BillGuard for its card charge dispute platform, BillGuard FI
  • Dwolla for its FISync service to enable banks to originate real-time payments
  • iQuantifi for its new financial planning & advice tools
  • MoneyDesktop for its PFM platform and integrated "deals"
  • Personal Capital for its iPhone app and interbank funds transfer
  • SoMoLend for its P2P lending platform

We'll have videos of all 63 demos posted at Finovate.com as fast as possible (probably 2 weeks out).

Thanks to everyone who presented, attended, tweeted, swapped biz cards, schmoozed and helped push fintech forward. You are the greatest! 

----------

Notes on methodology: 
1. Only audience members NOT associated with demoing companies were eligible to vote. Finovate employees did not vote.    
2. Attendees were encouraged to note their favorites as the day went on and choose three favorites from just the demos of that day. Ballots were turned in at the end of the last demo session each day.  
3. The exact written instructions given to attendees: "Please rate (the companies) on the basis of demo quality and potential impact of the innovation demoed. Note: Ballots with more than three companies circled will not be counted."  
4. The seven companies appearing on the highest percentage of submitted ballots were named Best of Show.

Innovation type: Banking products, investing, PFM


Historically, investing in securities has been 
a difficult proposition for retail investors, 
Thumbnail image for Thumbnail image for kuspitLogo.jpg
mainly due to the lack of access to competitive products and the absence of user-friendly financial education tools.

This problem is exacerbated in emerging markets, where financial markets tend to be less developed.

Kuspit offers retail investors an online platform to learn about investing, apply what they've learned, and invest in the same platform. All of this is available in an easy and progressive manner, while sharing ideas with the community.

Innovation type: Investing, online, PFM


Thumbnail image for Thumbnail image for OnDeckLogo.jpg
The current infrastructure to deliver capital to Main Street businesses is broken. It's simply too expensive for banks to manually analyze and underwrite a small loan - whether it is $10,000 or $100,000. As a result, banks make fewer loans, and creditworthy small businesses are denied the capital they need to grow. 

On Deck has created an efficient, effective and proven solution to this fundamental problem. By leveraging new digital sources of data, any institution can increase its small business lending through the On Deck platform, delivering funding decisions in minutes rather than weeks.

Innovation type: Lending, payments, small business


PaySimpleLogo.jpg
PaySimple is launching an innovative platform for banks to set up their own private-labeled version of cloud-based receivables automation. With this platform, banks of all sizes can easily bring to market a sticky value-added offering to attract and retain small business members, while adding a new revenue stream. 

PaySimple will demonstrate how banks can set up custom-branded software in a few simple steps and how small businesses can immediately benefit from a system that combines payment acceptance across channels integrated with customer management.

Innovation type: Online, payments, small business


PortfolioFootballLogo.jpg

Portfolio Football plays on the popularity of American Football and the adoption of fantasy sports into the lives millions. It makes financial management competitive, fun and easy to understand, while providing users with a powerful tool for personal finance and portfolio management. It's a true "game changer."

Innovation type: Investing, Online, PFM


Thumbnail image for Thumbnail image for saveupLogo.jpg
With 80% of Americans between the ages 20-40 now using social media and playing social games, how can financial institutions reach their customers in new ways?

Introducing SaveUp - an innovative program that uses game mechanics to reward good financial behavior. When users save money and reduce debt, they earn credits to play for prizes like cars, travel, and cash up to $2 million.

Financial institutions can use a customized SaveUp experience to help their customers make better financial decisions, increase engagement, and cross-sell products. Current FI partner campaigns have conversion rates of up to 44%.

Build a deeper relationship with your customers while helping them succeed.

Innovation type: Marketing, rewards


Thumbnail image for SoMoLendLogo.jpg

Investors lend money directly to borrowers through the SoMo platform, which then packages the loans and sells them as notes, bypassing banks and credit-card issuers.

ZipZapLogo.jpg
Approximately half of the world's population are cash-preferred consumers (unbanked, underbanked, teens or privacy-concerned) and have no bank account or limited access to traditional financial services. eCommerce merchants have not had a way, until now, to monetize this segment of consumers simply missing out on the substantial revenues they represent.

ZipZap will unveil the latest innovations in global cash transaction solutions for eCommerce merchants. CashCade ensures no more lost revenue from card-based transactions being declined, while CashPayment enables consumers worldwide to make payments for online purchases at offline locations using cash.

Innovation type: Back office, payments
