Thumbnail image for Thumbnail image for Thumbnail image for FFReportCoverIMG.jpg

We wrapped up FinovateFall in New York City about a week ago. Over the course of two days, 64 companies gave 7-minute demos to an audience of around 1,100. We’ve summarized the information and presented it in our latest Finovate Report, Fall Edition.

Introducing:

The Best New Products at FinovateFall 2012

This post-show wrapup is designed to help those that weren’t there get a better understanding of the major themes. And for those who were in attendance, it’s a box score to compare with your own notes and impressions.

In the report, we looked at three big trends that emerged at FinovateFall:

    • Small businesses get the same financial tools as bigger businesses
    • Security moves past the PIN 
    • Beyond plastic, the mobile wallet is here

PayTap Demonstrates P2P Bill Payment Solution

Wrapping up FinovateFall this year, PayTap took the stage with its P2P bill payment solution:
“All of us have done it – asked or given help to family & friends to pay a bill. It’s hard to ask and difficult to quickly respond. PayTap allows people to do what they currently do every day but online and with significant advantages.
1. Dramatically reduces the cost of moving money and takes a major step out of the process by having the funds go directly to the billing company (AT&T).
2. Takes advantage of existing social networking (increases reach and speed).
3. Gives visibility to all parties involved and allows them to keep track (who has paid) and avoids costly late fees.
4. Users can choose any payment method – credit, debit, PayPal and bank transfer – without revealing their details to family and friends.”
