The team from CREALOGIX is making its way to the stage. The Swiss software house and market leader for digital banking is introducing BankClip.
CREALOGIX is demoing how each financial advisory session can be wrapped up as a video clip, rather than traditionally done by email and documents. The possibility for the relationship manager to set together snippets of information into a video clip makes the experience of personalized information through visual transcribing more engaging.

Ixaris Systems debuted its user-interface editor.

Ixaris is demonstrating a UI editor that banks can provide to a corporate customer so that the entity can safely, and in a compliant manner, customize the instance of the application that the bank has deployed for them.

Critically, this patent-pending technology enables customization to be carried out by non-technical staff, either operational staff or web agency, without compromising security.

In addition to static web-page and cardholder-portal content, the customer can change the way in which transactions and payment instruments are handled. Tools are also provided for the bank to review, approve, and control the entry of changes into production.

CashSentinel debuted its escrow service and mobile wallet combination.

Online secondhand-car fraud was the #2 most common online scam in 2013, according to the European Consumer Centers network. This market represents over 25 million transactions yearly in United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, and Switzerland alone.

CashSentinel developed a solution that combines an escrow service and a mobile wallet, dedicated to facilitating and bringing trust to large transactions between parties that do not have a long-lasting, trusting relationship.

CashSentinel concluded a partnership with Swissquote Bank, the leading online bank of Switzerland, and AutoScout24, the leading secondhand-car marketplace. After a successful trial period, the service is set for fully fledged launch and European expansion in 2015.

Aire Launches API to Help Underwrite Risk of Borrowers with Thin Credit

Aire demonstrated its Credit API that helps lenders underwrite the risk of borrowers with thin credit files.

Aire is launching its Credit API at FinovateEurope 2015. The API enables lenders to use Aire to perform a credit check when traditional data doesn’t exist in the credit bureaus.

The immediate benefit is the ability to re-score applicants when no data exists on their bureau file. This enables lenders to expand the pool of eligible applicants by removing the no-data problem.

The API can also be used as a credit enhancement amongst other use-cases that we are excited to see companies explore. The signup for the API will also open at FinovateEurope for our partners.

This post is part of our live coverage of FinovateEurope 2015.
 
Bendigo and Adelaide Bank showed how its redy mobile payments platform helps users connect with causes that are important to them:

redy is a mobile payments platform that enables customers to transact with registered redy businesses, but it is more than just a way to pay. Each purchase earns a percentage of the transaction value—’Creds,’ a virtual currency—which can be redeemed for personal use or donated to community projects or charities.

Consumers can also complete direct mobile donations from redy simply by scanning the code in either the charity’s, or project’s marketing material. redy connects shoppers and businesses to causes that are important to them and is therefore a marketing tool to encourage local buying.
