Three Finovate/FinDEVr alums won top honors at the Emerging Payments Awards in London, United Kingdom, earlier this month.

HyperwalletLogoHyperwallet won in the “Best Corporate/Government Payments Programme” division with its Paylution Global Disbursements Program. In a statement, CEO Brent Warrington highlighted the scalability and flexibility of the Hyperwallet platform, and reported that more than five million independent workers are currently using the technology. Hyperwallet demonstrated its RESTful API and embedded payout widget at FinDEVr 2015 in San Francisco in October.

Revolut_logo_high-resIn partnership with Optimal Payments, Revolut won the “Best Emerging Payments Startup” category. Optimal Payments and Revolut teamed up back in July to launch a multi-currency MasterCard and mobile app that helps travelers take advantage of the best exchange rates available. Revolut made its Finovate debut this year at FinovateEurope 2015 in London.

Clover_logoClover Mobile won “Best Payment Technological Innovation” for its Future-Proof mPOS. Clover Mobile was launched in the fall of 2014, a year after Clover was acquired by First Data. Clover made its Finovate appearance at FinovateSpring 2012 in San Francisco.

The other four Finovate/FinDEVr alums that made it to the finals were:

The event’s overall Industry Contributor Award went to IrisGuard for its EyeBank Iris Recognition electronic payment platform. The platform has been deployed to help bring “sustainable financial inclusion” to those in the Syrian refugee program. As of June 2015, the program had enrolled more than 1.6 million refugees.

Now in its eighth year, the Emerging Payments Awards help recognize creative and business talent in the payments industry. The Awards are run by the Emerging Payments Association, which has also provided the Prepaid Awards since 2006. The Association said that this year’s Emerging Payments Awards was its largest event to date.

If you’re in the United Kingdom and love fintech, then make sure FinovateEurope 2016 is on your calendar. Our two-day conference returns to London, February 9 and 10, 2016.

HyperwalletLogoEnhance your outbound payments experience and improve worker loyalty with Hyperwallet’s flexible payments platform. From online payment portals to unified APIs, Hyperwallet’s global payout network provides collaborative economy companies and their workers with a range of payments capabilities, integrated financial tools, tax-reporting solutions, and business support services. Our range of flexible worker-payment options includes local bank deposits, international wire transfers, branded prepaid and virtual cards, checks, cash pick-up services, and pay-to-existing-card capabilities. With offices in San Francisco and Vancouver, you can learn more about Hyperwallet at hyperwallet.com.

Paying the on-demand economy: moving from payment methods to a payment platform

Don’t just pay your workers; provide them with the tools they need to achieve freedom, independence, and control over their personal enterprises. Improve worker loyalty and morale on your platform with an integrated worker-payment platform. During this session, members of Hyperwallet’s product and development teams will be showcasing two new payout features: the company’s RESTful API and an embedded payout widget. Both features have been developed for easy integration, ensuring a simple end-user experience, secure connections to Hyperwallet’s global financial network, and direct access to a wide variety of worker-directed payout options.

Key takeaways:

  • The advantages of a single, integrated payments platform vs. the technological and
    operational complexity of managing multiple payment methods
  • The power of payee choice: build lasting worker loyalty by offering quick, easy and convenient payout options
  • How Hyperwallet is bringing granular tracking to global payments, moving global payment distribution from “Batch and Hope” to “API and Certainty”
