OnFinance_50toWatch

Alumni from both Finovate and FinDEVr are featured in AlwaysOn’s OnFinance “50 Companies to Watch” roster released this week.

AlwaysOn’s OnFinance “50 Companies to Watch” highlights “early to mid-stage startups focused on honing fintech innovation” that are effectively taking their technologies to market. This ability to “capitalize on enormous market opportunities” is what AlwaysOn uses to distinguish its “50 Companies to Watch” from its “Top 100” list published earlier this month.

“(The 50) are positioned at the inflection point of growth and are quickly emerging as contenders that are earning global recognition,” write the editors.

See for yourself. The full list is here. Below are the nine Finovate and FinDEVr alums that made the cut, along with a link to their most recent appearance on stage.

Jumio’s Netverify Makes Mobile Account Opening Easy

By Julie Muhn (@julieschicktanz) Posted on
Categories: FinovateEurope 2015, Jumio

JumioLogo.jpgThis post is part of our live coverage of FinovateEurope 2015.

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.

 

Presenters: David Pope, marketing director, and John McIntosh, sales engineer

Product launch: 2012

Product distribution strategy: Direct to Business (B2B), through other fintech companies and platforms
