FinovateSpring Best of Show Winners Named

By Jim Bruene Posted on
Categories: BehavioSec, Best of Show, Bill Guard, Dwolla, FinovateSpring 2012, iQuantifi, MoneyDesktop, Personal Capital, SoMoLend

Our fifth annual FinovateSpring in San Francisco concluded a few hours ago. After seeing 63 demos over two packed days, the audience voted for their three favorites each day. The top seven overall were named Best of Show (see notes).

The winners (in alphabetic order):

  • BehavioSec for its new security layer based on user typing/swiping patterns
  • BillGuard for its card charge dispute platform, BillGuard FI
  • Dwolla for its FISync service to enable banks to originate real-time payments
  • iQuantifi for its new financial planning & advice tools
  • MoneyDesktop for its PFM platform and integrated “deals”
  • Personal Capital for its iPhone app and interbank funds transfer
  • SoMoLend for its P2P lending platform

We’ll have videos of all 63 demos posted at Finovate.com as fast as possible (probably 2 weeks out).

Thanks to everyone who presented, attended, tweeted, swapped biz cards, schmoozed and helped push fintech forward. You are the greatest! 

———-

Notes on methodology: 
1. Only audience members NOT associated with demoing companies were eligible to vote. Finovate employees did not vote.    
2. Attendees were encouraged to note their favorites as the day went on and choose three favorites from just the demos of that day. Ballots were turned in at the end of the last demo session each day.  
3. The exact written instructions given to attendees: “Please rate (the companies) on the basis of demo quality and potential impact of the innovation demoed. Note: Ballots with more than three companies circled will not be counted.”  
4. The seven companies appearing on the highest percentage of submitted ballots were named Best of Show. 
5. Go here for a list of previous Best of Show winners.

MoneyDesktop Launches a Targeted Offers Program, Announces Partnership with Visa

By Julie Muhn (@julieschicktanz) Posted on
Categories: FinovateSpring 2012, MoneyDesktop

MoneyDesktopLogo.jpg

Today, MoneyDesktop demonstrated how it integrated Deals into its PFM:
“Deals by MoneyDesktop, rises above the noise of other untargeted, complex offers platforms by fully integrating into MoneyDesktop’s PFM backbone and using anonymized user transaction data to deliver a three-pronged value proposition:
 
Value to Financial Institutions (FI’s) – With compelling offers pushed daily to account holders, FI’s will:
    1. Drive loan growth from increased PFM adoption, account aggregation and transaction data
    2. Acquire new account holders faster and at lower costs with Deals viral sharing capabilities
    3. Acquire new merchant accounts as the result of relationships built with local merchants
Value To Merchants – Deals leverages actual transaction data and empowers Merchants to:
    1. Target consumers that are buying in their category but not from them 
    2. Track and measure actual customer acquisition and customer spending data
    3. Implement an automatic and paperless redemption tool without complicating operations
Value To End-Users – Via the Deals app, Users receive unprecedented value through:
    1. Offers, individually tailored from personal transaction data, for items they’re already buying 
    2. An automatic redemption process that eliminates cumbersome coupons and promo codes
    3. Automatically issued electronic cash-back for Deals that have been redeemed
MoneyDesktop combines all the best practices in the offers space with its award-winning PFM and eliminates the huge value disconnect of other offers programs. This puts MoneyDesktop in a whole different category with a game-changing solution for FI’s and Merchants that will positively impact the lives of millions of consumers.”
Product Launched: May 2012
HQ Location: Provo, UT
Company Founded: March 2010
Metrics: Triple-digit growth over the past 2 years, 22 online banking/core/payment network partners, 260+ FI clients, 45 employees
Introducing Ryan Caldwell (CEO) and Matt West (VP of Sales)
