FinovateEurope 2015 Sneak Peek: Part 1

FE2015Banner.jpg

2014 was an exciting year for fintech, and we estimate 2015 to be even bigger, with the ongoing battle for mobile wallet share, growth of alternative lending, and burgeoning VC funding.

At FinovateEurope, our first conference of 2015, we’re hosting more than 70 companies who will showcase their products centered on the newest trends, and some we’ve never seen before. 

For Finovate’s fifth time in London, we’re returning to the Old Billingsgate Market Hall on February 10 & 11. Register now and be the first to see the newest fintech of 2015.

Jumio’s Fastfill Combines Three Data Reading Capabilities to Automatically Fill Out Forms for Customers

JumioLogo.jpg

This post is part of our live coverage of FinovateSpring 2014.
Second up this morning, Jumio showed how Fastfill saves time spent filling out forms:
“When customers arrive at your sign-up or checkout form they see a “Scan ID” option in addition to traditional key entry fields. Your customer simply taps the “Scan ID” button, selects the ID they wish to use, and holds it up to their device camera. Fastfill scans the ID, extracts the data it contains, and feeds data into your new account form; it takes just a second or two. 
Our patented technology offers three different data reading capabilities: bar code, MRZ, and OCR to enable customer data to be extracted from any of three ID types issued by over 100 countries.”
Presenting: Mike Orlando (CSO) and Anthony Lanham (SVP Sales)
Product Launch: February 2014
Metrics: 204 employees
Product distribution strategy: Direct to Business (B2B)
HQ: Palo Alto, CA
