A special thanks to our scribes in social media.

Here’s a sampler of some of the more colorful commentary and insightful observations from FinovateEurope 2015.
Thanks to everyone who participated and we’ll see you in San Jose for FinovateSpring 2015 in San Jose!

TransferTo showed how its Prepaid Electricity Remittance gives the sender more control over how recipients spend their money.
A major and recurring issue with money remittance is the sender not knowing how their money is spent.
TransferTo has developed a new service to overcome this problem whereby the sender can remit value for a specific purpose. We call it Value Remittance. TransferTo works directly with service providers to enable remote payment for services such as utilities, petrol, healthcare, school tuition, groceries, etc.
A great example of this is the Prepaid Electricity in Indonesia. Indonesian migrant workers in the Middle East send millions of rupees back to their families. Instead of sending money, TransferTo enables them to remotely top up the Prepaid Electricity meter of their loved ones back home.

Jumio showed how Netverify makes it quick and easy for customers to open new accounts on their mobile device.
Jumio’s Netverify turns your customer’s mobile device into an ID-document-scanning terminal that instantly sees, scans, and extracts name and date of birth, and if present, address data. The data is instantly and neatly populated into the account-opening fields, making it quicker and easier for customers to complete applications.
Jumio also authenticates the ID document by determining that it is a bonafide, non-manipulated, and legitimate government-issued ID.
Account opening can be completed instantly so that customer sign-up momentum is not broken when a customer is asked to provide physical copies of ID documents.
Product launch: 2012
Metrics: 300+ employees; $60 million raised; half of the top-10 consumer internet companies along with hundreds of other retailers, financial institutions, marketplaces, gaming companies and more have adopted Jumio products and services

Yoyo showed how its mobile payments app rewards consumers and offers retailers added benefits.
Yoyo integrates into the retailer’s till system and uses a unique QR code for each transaction, which is scanned at the point of sale. For consumers, it’s a quick and easy way to pay and get rewarded. For retailers, Yoyo provides a set of tools which enables them to better target their customers with relevant rewards, offers, and incentives.
We recently launched V3 of the Yoyo app, and we are constantly introducing new product features. Most recent additions include social gifting, digitalized receipts, and card to mobile.
Product launch: V1 app launched January 2014, V3 launched September 2014
Metrics: $5M seed funding raised to date, 25 employees, around 15,000 registered users since launch in January 2014, currently processing 80,000 transactions a month

KPAX is a powerful tool developed for strategic automated regression testing and reconciliations for financial services as well as data users in other sectors.

KPAX can be installed as a virtual machine, on servers, or via the cloud.
The Risk Game teaches the players how to budget more wisely. The starting point is the Financial Health Score (FHS), an index of a consumer’s financial health. The FHS determines the starting level in the game and drives the routing.
Players can use their earned points for saving and protecting themselves against unexpected events. Real life comes in when the players receive tips and see their FHS adjusted in their bank account based on their real behavior. The objective of the game is to activate people to better budget and therefore be able to pay their mortgage installments, reducing the risk for the bank.

To address the potential breach in credit card or ATM security, LockByMobile provides an additional security layer for cardholder accounts such as credit, debit, ATM and prepaid card, or even electronic wallets. It empowers cardholders to take control by “locking and unlocking” their accounts in real time using their mobile phone.
The service offers granual settings such as locking specific channels (point of sale, online, mobile, or ATM), or transaction settings (amount and merchant types), as well as limiting the transactions to certain countries and currencies.
LockByMobile’s concept comes from the Lock/Unlock feature of Smart Money, winner of the ‘Best Mobile Security Feature’ award, November 2009, GSMA in Barcelona.
