FinovateSpring 2015 – Emailage

How they describe themselves: Emailage delivers an intelligent risk score that is derived from reputation beyond a blacklist or validation check. Similar to providing a Social Security number to receive a credit score, our customers provide an email address to receive a fraud risk score. We use sophisticated machine learning, and proprietary algorithms that evolve with new fraud trends, to provide real time fraud scoring. This allows our customers to leverage sources beyond their data, without compromising the security of sensitive information. With 90% of confirmed fraud discovered by Emailage not having a loss reported, it truly is a proactive approach to fraud strategy.

How they describe their product/innovation: Emailage is focused on providing customers with multiple ways to access our toolset. Our new browser extensions allow customers to easily get a real time fraud score from any webpage. Enabling these extensions allow customers to assess fraud risk scores from Chrome, Firefox, and Internet Explorer seamlessly. The Emailage browser extension places an icon next to any email address on the page, which can be clicked for instant analysis of the risk associated with the email.

FinovateEurope 2015 – Financial Media Solutions (FMS)

How they describe themselves: FMS is a privately funded company focused on helping institutions create compelling financial content in dynamic, mobile compatible video formats.

Estimates from Cisco suggest video content will make up 75% of total global internet traffic by 2018, a rapidly increasing share of which will be played from mobile devices. For financial institutions, the marketing implication is clear – dynamic video will overtake static content and become the norm for attracting and engaging with clients.

Embracing this shift, our MAPPS software empowers the key client ‘touch points’ of an institution – e.g. Research – to create dynamic Videographic content that clients can view from any device.

How they describe their product/innovation: Those attempting to read financial analysis from a PDF on their smartphone will understand the issue. How do institutions create financial content that is compatible for mobile users?

The answer is with MAPPS – Market Analysis Production & Publishing Solution. Operating from the cloud, MAPPS makes it simple to combine dynamic graphics with an audio message, enabling financial analysis/concepts to be delivered in concise, engaging Videographic formats.

As client attention spans shorten – research indicates ca. 90-120 seconds is all the time you have to get a video message across – financial content needs to come in dynamic, bite size formats that clients can easily digest. This is exactly what MAPPS delivers.

FinovateEurope 2015 – FOBISS

How they describe themselves: The increasing demand for easily accessible cash drives banks to expand their cash point networks. However, as the self-service networks grow, it becomes more difficult to supervise – complexity and operating costs rise. FOBISS enables cash supply chain stakeholders such as retail banks, cash in transit companies, independent service operators, and retailers to efficiently manage the entire cash supply chain by ensuring cash availability at the lowest costs.

By harnessing the power of artificial intelligence, FOBISS Intelligent Business Operations technology improves productivity, increases agility, and allows banks to better position themselves to compete in the marketplace.

How they describe their product/innovation: FOBISS CM™ performs the complex cash demand forecasting and optimization tasks using its integrated artificial intelligence algorithms, capable of real-time processing of large amounts of information, evaluation of historical data, relations between them, trends, and projections. It chooses the optimum decisions out of millions of possible combinations – something the standard analytical tools cannot do.

The biggest value of the technology lies in its rich advanced analytic tools such as “what if” scenario modeling based on real-time profitability counting capabilities, which allow decision makers to not only make the best operational and tactical decisions in real time, but also to flexibly and timely adjust to the winning strategies.
