Token Creates a Fast Payment Ecosystem

By Julie Muhn (@julieschicktanz) Posted on May 13, 2015
Categories: FinovateSpring 2015, Token

This post is part of our live coverage of FinovateSpring 2015.

Token showed its payment ecosystem that uses end-to-end secure protocols with digital signatures:

For the past 2,500 years, our payment rails have relied upon the use of shared secrets, such as passwords, account numbers, payment card numbers, and paper signatures. Shared secrets are the root cause of the never-ending security problems with payment cards, checks, and ACH. Tokenization is a band-aid, not a cure. The only real way to create a secure, fast payment ecosystem is to eliminate the use of all shared secrets by using end-to-end secure protocols with digital signatures. This has never been done before anywhere in the world. It is what sets Token apart from all other payment systems.

Presenters: CEO Steve Kirsch and CTO Yobie Benjamin

Product Launch: May 2015

Metrics: 10 employees; launching in May 2015 with a large public utility; over $50B in sales leads

By Julie Muhn (@julieschicktanz) Posted on May 13, 2015
Categories: FinovateSpring 2015, LendKey

This post is part of our live coverage of FinovateSpring 2015.

LendKey debuted its MarketPlace that creates and manages online lending programs for banks:

Leveraging LendKey’s experience in building real-time loan-origination systems, the LendKey MarketPlace will empower consumers to browse, customize, compare and complete the entire loan-shopping process via a single interface. This represents a dramatic step forward from current consumer-loan marketplaces which collect consumer information, and may provide some pricing information, but eventually transfer the borrower elsewhere to complete and submit the loan.

Presentrts: Vince Passione, CEO and founder, and Strati Papageorge, chief product officer

Product Launch: June 2015

Metrics: LendKey’s online lending platform is used by over 300 credit unions and banks and has raised more than $750M in funding for loans to more than 35,000 borrowers. Our success to-date is due in great part to some key partnerships, including CUNA Strategic Services and Western Independent Bankers (as an endorsed service provider); numerous state credit-union leagues and bank associations, and consumer financial service providers like Intuit (Mint.com) and Credit Karma. LendKey raised $23.5M in equity from backers, including Draper Fisher Jurvetson, Updata Partners, and DFJ Gotham Ventures. We have more than 100 full time employees split between our New York City headquarters and an office in Cincinnati, Ohio.
