How they describe themselves: Wallaby is building the first service to combine a cloud-based wallet with an intelligent credit card. Working alongside a consumer’s existing credit cards, Wallaby’s unique App and digital wallet ensure that a consumer automatically maximizes credit card rewards from each purchase. In addition to gaining the most travel or cash back rewards from their cards, consumers can also set credit card preferences, and designate the percentage of spending that should go to individual cards. Wallaby also makes it easier for consumers to take advantage of marketing offers from merchants and banks to optimize their spending even further.
How they describe their product/innovation: We will demonstrate the new Wallaby Wallet Boost. This makes it easy for consumers to build the ideal mix of credit cards for their particular needs. Wallet Boost extends the power of the patent-pending Wallaby Engine. Wallet Boost delivers intelligent, real-time credit card recommendations to help consumers identify the optimal collection of credit cards that will earn them the most rewards, cash back, or help reduce interest. Consumers add current credit card accounts to Wallet Boost, which scans recent past transactions, and produces a customized recommendation on which cards the user should acquire to maximize their financial goals.

How they describe themselves: Xendpay.com is an online money transfer service that allows users to easily and cheaply send money anywhere in the world from a PC or mobile phone.
Payment can be made via card or bank transfer. Soon it will be possible to pay using cash in a large number of retail locations. Delivery is to bank accounts or, in some countries, to cash collection points via a network of partners. Xendpay is for everyone who sends money overseas including migrants, students, holidaymakers and cross-border shoppers. It is available in 5 languages (English, Spanish, German, French & Polish). Because it keeps everything online, Xendpay is cheaper than the bricks and mortar alternatives. All payments are covered by RationalFX’s FSA authorisation and safety and online security is paramount. The product itself is cloud-hosted and built on a Java framework with extreme scalability in mind.
How they describe their product/innovation: Xendpay itself is very new. However, we are demonstrating a new service – a cash-to-cash mobile international payment. The user will send a money transfer without a payment card or bank account using just their mobile phone from a corner shop. Previously to do this kind of payment the person would have to visit a Western Union (or similar) agent. Xendpay can do conventional card-to-bank payments as well.
