How they describe themselves: Unison provides long-term investment capital to home buyers and homeowners which they can use for up to 30 years with no interest or monthly payments.  Unison’s investors earn a return by sharing in the change in value of the home, up or down, when the homeowner decides to sell.  As partners, if the home value rises the homeowner and the investor both profit.  If the home value falls, both lose.  The Unison HomeBuyer program increases purchasing power and helps more buyers qualify by lowering their monthly payment.  The Unison HomeOwner program allows existing homeowners to unlock home equity without debt.

How they describe their product/innovation: Unison HomeBuyer doubles a buyer’s down payment cash, eliminating mortgage insurance, significantly lowering the monthly payment and increasing purchasing power.  Millennials and first time buyers who are burdened with high rent and student debt can now become homeowners, with greater choice over commute, school district and home features.  Buyers with the required down payment in hand can retain a significant portion of their cash.

Unison HomeOwner unlocks home equity without debt or monthly payments, enabling homeowners to pay off credit card debt, remodel their home, start a business, pay for medical bills or a child’s education, or invest for retirement.

How they describe their product/innovation. With the rising interest in passive investment strategies and the expansion of robo-advice, interest in ETFs, mutual funds and other fund instruments has never been stronger. Investors are demanding more access to quality fund data from their financial services applications. But integrating this type of information into investor solutions has not been easy due to market fragmentation and the lack of APIs. Until now!

How they describe themselves: Wealth Wizards is pioneering the development of expert online financial advice in the UK, and is acknowledged as a leader by the FCA, industry and media. We have found that there is a huge ‘advice gap’ in the UK market where finding an expert financial adviser is difficult, and face-to-face advice can often be expensive. We have established a completely new approach to pension investments which makes financial advice affordable and accessible to everyone. We work directly with employers, or alongside pension consultants, to offer online pension and retirement advice to company employees. We also provide white label solutions to large financial services brands.

How they describe their product/innovation: Our innovation is ‘Contribution Advice’ which is a module in our online application Pension Wizard. Pension Wizard is provided to employees by their employer as an employee benefit, and was created to provide employees with all the advice they need to feel in control of their pension and sort their retirement saving whilst at work. We carried out research and found that pensions are very low down on the list of priorities for many. Our aim was to change that way that employees think about their pension and retirement. We want to encourage employees to contribute more towards their pension and also feel in control of their finances.

How they describe themselves: Veridium is a biometric authentication software company. We offer an end-to-end platform that includes an SDK to embed biometrics into an enterprise’s mobile app and a back-end server that provides analytics and reporting tools. Multiple biometrics (face, Touch ID, 4 Fingers TouchlessID) can be plugged into the SDK for the convenience and security of the end user. Veridium has built solutions for mobile banking, mobile payments, Active Directory, Virtual Private Networks and Single Sign On. Our target markets are the Global 2000 with an emphasis on financial services and healthcare.

How they describe their product/innovation: 4 Fingers TouchlessID is a significantly more reliable biometric than other mobile-based solutions. Since it captures all four fingerprints at once this increases the complexity of the data collected, making it harder to spoof. Matching can happen on the server or mobile device (making it FIDO compliant). In addition, Biometric data can be stored on the phone, the server or distributed between the two using Visual Cryptography. This method encrypts the vector randomly into separate pieces and avoids creating a key like other encryption methods. Used in conjunction with 4 Fingers, it’s one of the most reliable, flexible, and secure solutions on the market.
