Finovate Global Israel: From Innovations in Payroll to the Impact of Politics

Finovate Global Israel: From Innovations in Payroll to the Impact of Politics
By David Penn Posted on
Categories: Finovate Global

Israel-based payroll and payments technology company Papaya Global unveiled its latest solution this week. The new offering, Papaya Global Payroll Payments, is a fully automated, embedded payments platform that facilitates global payroll processing and mass payments. The solution is designed to assist payroll vendors who typically outsource these payments to third party vendors who often are not best suited to handling payroll payments.

“Papaya Payroll Payments is a game changer, full stop.” Papaya CEO and co-founder Eynat Guez said. “No other company is offering fully automated, embedded payments designed for payroll. We are the first payroll payments company in the industry to help its clients navigate the needs of the local employee and the global employer.”

Papaya’s solution will also enable its customers to process payments faster given the fact that Papaya owns money transfer licenses globally and its technology is built specifically to facilitate payroll payments. The company said that payroll payments typically arrive within 72 hours, which it calls “an industry first.”

“We’re giving organizers with global workforces a true borderless solution for getting team members their payments quickly and accurately,” Guez said. “No more manual processes, no more late or inaccurate payments, no fees reaching the employees.”

Founded in 2016, Papaya Global maintains offices in Tel Aviv, New York, Austin, London, Kiev, Singapore, and Melbourne, Australia. Named to the Forbes Cloud 100 and CNBC’s Top Startups for the Enterprise, Papaya Global has raised more than $444 million in funding from investors such as Scale Venture Partners and Insight Partners.

E-commerce risk management platform Riskified announced late this week that it was pulling $500 million in cash and equivalents out of Israel. The move comes as concerns grow about a controversial judicial reform plan championed by the current government led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The proposal would give the executive branch greater control over judge selection and limit the ability of the country’s Supreme Court to strike down legislation.

Riskified CEO Eido Gal was quoted by Reuters as fearing that the Israeli government might limit transfers and withdrawals of large sums should the financial situation in the country “continue to deteriorate.”

In addition to transferring funds out of the country, Riskified reported that it will expand hiring in its research and development site in Lisbon, Portugal.

Riskified was founded in 2012 and is based in New York. The company is publicly traded on the NASDAQ under the ticker RSKD and has a market capitalization of more than $940 million.

Learn more about the challenges currently faced by startups in Israel in this explainer from Crunchbase News. Note that Papaya Global, mentioned above, also moved funds out of Israel earlier this year, citing similar concerns about the country’s business climate and political uncertainty. Shuly Galili, founding partner at UpWest, a Silicon Valley-based seed investor that specializes in funding Israeli startups, was quoted as saying that passage of the judicial reform legislation would result impact “investments coming into the country, founders staying or not staying in the country.” Galili added that the new law could result in between $7 billion to $10 billion in funds leaving Israel.

Jonathan Alloy on the State of Digital Banking

Jonathan Alloy on the State of Digital Banking
By Julie Muhn (@julieschicktanz) Posted on
Categories: Speaker series

Jonathan Alloy is a seasoned financial services professional with years of experience in the sector. He formerly served as Vice President of Design Thinking at Credit Suisse, where he was responsible for driving innovation and fostering a culture of human-centered design across the organization. Today, he is Vice President for Customer Experience and Innovation Consulting at Publicis Sapient.

Last fall, Jonathan Alloy and Steven Ramirez, CEO of Beyond the Arc, sat down to discuss the current state of digital banking. Here are some highlights from their conversation.

When it comes to partnerships, how does a fintech work with a bank to get a solution in front of customers?

Jonathan Alloy: Fintechs, or any new entrant into the banking industry, really need to understand that banks have two separate departments at the highest level. There’s a group that likes risk– that’s the front office, the people who take deposits, make loans, and trade securities– they thrive on correctly evaluating risk.

The back office, by contrast, thrives on minimizing risk. They’re looking for reasons to say no to protect the bank’s integrity, its reputation, its cybersecurity, and its trust with customers. They’re going to say no to things, even if they’re innovative, because it violates a policy that they’re incentivized by the bank to uphold. Maybe [the solution being offered] is only available in the cloud and the bank only allows things that are on-prem. That’s a very common example. So when you’re developing a solution, you have to understand the risk profile of who in the bank has the authority to say yes.

What is it about digital banking that excites you?

Alloy: I think the biggest opportunity right now in some ways remains where it was 20 years ago. [This opportunity] is increasingly being where the customer is. This enables us to deliver financial services when, where, and how they want to consume, not just how we want to provide it. And that’s an important distinction.

Whether [you deliver] through mobile payments, through white labeling, whatever the case may be– it’s a matter of getting out in front of the traditional banking silos, breaking down the walls we have internally, and getting it out in the world to understand it from [the customer’s] point of view.

When we look at the world through the eyes of how customers want to make purchases, payments, take out loans, and invest for retirement, we’re going to learn things that we don’t get if we stay in our silos.

Any tips for banks that want to think like a customer?

Alloy: The number one best thing I could encourage everybody to do is go shopping yourself. So you’re CEOs, your CXOs, your executive team, your management team, your middle managers, your front line employees– everybody should be required to go out, and from another bank that’s not you, as well as you, sign up for a new checking account, get a debit card and a credit card, take out a loan, buy a car– whatever your personal financial needs are. Think about, “was this experience enjoyable or tolerable?” In most cases, what we find, is that for most people, banking is barely tolerable. So when somebody comes along with an innovative new idea or a new approach that makes it just that much more better, they’re going to win great[er] share.

Hear more from Jonathan Alloy in the full conversation.

Intuit Pulls from Mint to Build New Credit Karma Net Worth Tool

Intuit Pulls from Mint to Build New Credit Karma Net Worth Tool
By Julie Muhn (@julieschicktanz) Posted on
Categories: Alumni News, Credit Karma, Daily news, Mint
  • Credit Karma is launching Net Worth, a new tool that will enable users to view and track their net worth in a single place.
  • Intuit’s Mint business has joined the Credit Karma team to facilitate the new Net Worth tool.
  • At launch, the Net Worth tool will be available to U.S. consumers with credit scores above 720.

Intuit-owned Credit Karma is expanding from credit building into wealth building this week with its new launch, Net Worth. The new tool aims to help the company’s 120 million U.S. members track their net worth, and places Credit Karma one step closer toward its goal of becoming a full service personal financial management platform.

Intuit subsidiary Mint is key to today’s launch and has joined the Credit Karma team to implement the new offering. Mint launched in 2007 to help users keep track of all of their accounts in a single place. The company was one of the first to offer account aggregation in a direct-to-consumer offering.

“Credit Karma’s mission is to champion financial progress for all, but we know that financial progress looks different for everyone,” said Credit Karma CEO and Founder Kenneth Lin. “This next evolution of Credit Karma will combine the expertise and momentum generated by Mint with Credit Karma’s scale and technology, and enable us to help more Americans, in particular those who are faced with a new set of financial challenges and are looking to elevate and protect their net worth.”

At launch, Net Worth will be quite simple. The tool will help members understand the components of their net worth, monitor changes, and track their transactions over time. Future iterations will enable users to protect their net worth, maximize credit card rewards based on spending habits, and view investment insights. Interestingly, each of these secondary iterations comes with potential revenue streams, such as selling insurance, credit card promotional partnerships, etc.

Credit Karma is making Net Worth available to U.S. consumers with credit scores above 720 and hopes to expand the tool to more users over time. “Net Worth was built for U.S. consumers who have already made significant progress on their credit score and are looking for that next financial health indicator to track and take action on, as they continue their financial journey,” said Mint General Manager Ryan Steckler. “Before we can help consumers grow their net worth, we’ve built a seamless product experience that gives consumers a holistic view of all of their financial accounts, directly within the Credit Karma app.”

Maine-Based Kennebec Savings Bank Launches Alkami Digital Banking Platform

Maine-Based Kennebec Savings Bank Launches Alkami Digital Banking Platform
By David Penn Posted on
Categories: Alkami Technology, Alumni News, Daily news
  • Kennebec Savings Bank, based in Maine, went live with the digital banking platform from Alkami.
  • The technology will help the $1.6 billion financial institution provide a seamless and consistent user experience for its business, retail, and mobile banking customers.
  • Alkami made its Finovate debut in 2009 as “iThryv.” The company is headquartered in Plano, Texas.

Kennebec Savings Bank launched the Alkami Digital Banking Platform this week. The Maine-based financial institution, with $1.6 billion in assets, will leverage the newly integrated solution to provide a seamless digital banking experience for its business, retail, and mobile banking customers. Founded more than 150 years ago, Kennebec Savings Bank has a team of nearly 200 employees and maintains offices in Augusta, Farmingdale, Freeport, Waterville, and Winthrop.

“One of our key goals is to expand support for local businesses,” Kennebec SVP and Chief Information Officer Kevin Dono explained. “Alkami’s platform enables us to provide a seamless and consistent user experience for our business customers by giving them access to all accounts through a common user interface within a single system. Self-service capabilities help them manage multiple accounts and enable functionality options for individuals through permission settings.”

Headquartered in Plano, Texas, Alkami made its Finovate debut as “iThryv” in 2009. The company’s digital banking platform offers an intuitive solution for enhancing the onboarding process for new customers, and accelerating deposit and loan growth. The platform also supports digital cards and P2P transfers, offers financial wellness tools, and will enable Kennebec to leverage data to provide customers with greater personalization.

“We are excited to support Kennebec’s efforts to go beyond the traditional banking footprint and further empower and engage with customers,” Alkami CEO Alex Shootman said. “The Alkami Platform, combined with Kennebec’s outstanding service, will position them to deliver even greater value and service benefits to both current and future customers.”

Alkami began the year earning special recognition from AMOCO Federal Credit Union, which named Alkami its “Partner of the Year.” The award is designed to recognize the “outstanding positive impact” that the FCU’s business partners have had on the institution’s member service, growth, and innovation. AMOCO FCU, with 78,000 users — including 56,000 active digital banking users – has relied on Alkami’s Digital Banking Platform since 2019.

“We were very specific about the user experience (UX) and capabilities we needed for our members,” AMOCO SVP of Operations Technology Nate Ashworth said. “Alkami not only brought a best-in-class UX to the table, but also has the extensibility to build in the integrations we require now and into the future.”

Coinbase Launches Wallet-as-a-Service

Coinbase Launches Wallet-as-a-Service
By Julie Muhn (@julieschicktanz) Posted on
Categories: Alumni News, Coinbase, Daily news
  • Coinbase is launching a Wallet-as-a-Service (WaaS).
  • The offering will enable businesses to build web3 wallets for their customers, using only web2 skills.
  • Initial customers for the launch include NFT marketplace Floor, gaming platform Moonray, and token-gated events site Tokenproof.

Digital currency platform Coinbase launched a Wallet-as-a-Service (WaaS) this week. The new offering is aimed to help any company build customizable wallets for their clients, bringing them into the web3 era.

The launch comes after Coinbase realized that web3 wallets were out of reach for many businesses. These on-chain wallets– which help users store digital assets, facilitate transactions, and act as a digital identity– are complex and require technical knowledge. Coinbase’s WaaS aims to simplify things by enabling companies to offer a digital wallet onboarding experience that requires only a username and password. Coinbase will also enable companies to offer the wallet within their own app, enabling in-app transfers of currency or digital assets all in one place.

The WaaS tool enables users to access a web3 wallet using a web2 interface. Also making things easier for those new to web3 is the security. With WaaS, users are not required to manage their own keys. Instead, Coinbase uses advanced multi-party computation to securely divide, encrypt, and distribute keys among multiple parties.

Coinbase has already secured a handful of clients for its WaaS, including NFT marketplace Floor, gaming platform Moonray, and token-gated events site Tokenproof. “Individuals will no longer have to come with knowledge of how the blockchain works in order to interact with the brands they love,” said Tokenproof Founder Fonz. “When users download the tokenproof app, we’ll help welcome them into web3 by creating their first wallet, which will be powered by Coinbase.”

With 1,110 verified users on its platform, Coinbase sees $145 billion in quarterly volume traded and has $80 billion in assets on its platform. The company went public in 2021 and now trades on the NASDAQ under the ticker COIN with a current market capitalization of $14 billion. Earlier this month, Coinbase acquired digital asset management company One River Digital Asset Management in an effort to bridge the gap between financial institutions and the crypto economy.

Digital Banking Platform HMBradley Inks Deal with Thought Machine

Digital Banking Platform HMBradley Inks Deal with Thought Machine
By David Penn Posted on
Categories: Alumni News, Daily news, Thought Machine
  • Digital banking platform HMBradley forged a strategic partnership with banking technology provider Thought Machine.
  • HMBradley will leverage Thought Machine’s Vault Core solution to offer new and more personalized financial products to its customers.
  • U.K.-based Thought Machine made its Finovate debut at FinovateEurope in 2018.

Fintech platform HMBradley announced a strategic partnership with banking technology provider Thought Machine this week. Courtesy of the collaboration, HMBradley will be able to clear its waitlist and begin opening new accounts for the first time in nearly a year and a half. To this end, HMBradley also has teamed up with New York Community Bank (NYCB), a division of Flagstar Bank, who will maintain the customer deposit accounts.

“With Thought Machine’s cutting-edge technology, we can quickly create and build the products we’ve imagined, and with NYCB’s long-standing reputation as a stable and successful financial institution, we can exceed customer expectations at scale,” HMBradley co-founder and CEO Zach Bruhnke said. “This will result in an unparalleled customer experience with more personalized tools and benefits for our customers.”

The adoption of Thought Machine’s configurable, cloud-native core banking platform Vault Core has enabled HMBradley to transition away from overnight batch transaction processing to real-time ledger capabilities. Features like Thought Machine’s smart contract technology gives HMBradley the ability to respond to market demands in real time, as well as enhance the customer experience with more personalized solutions and actionable insights into their financial status.

“By running on Vault Core,” Thought Machine CEO Paul Taylor said, “HMBradley will undoubtedly grow and improve its service in ways customers never imagined. We look forward to supporting HMBradley as it bakes power and efficiency into its operations and rolls out innovative new features with speed.”

Thought Machine’s partnership with HMBradley comes less than a month after the company announced that U.S.-based Arvest Bank was launching a new loan offering using Thought Machine’s core banking technology. Thought Machine and Arvest Bank have worked together since the fall of 2021, when the $26 billion financial institution brought Thought Machine on board to help drive its digital transformation strategy. Laura Merling, the bank’s chief transformation and operations officer, praised Thought Machine’s Vault Core for its ability to enable the bank to “build, launch, and manage any financial product through its Universal Product Engine” which offers “highly personalized, targeted products to specific customer segments.”

Founded in 2014 and headquartered in London, U.K., Thought Machine made its Finovate debut at FinovateEurope 2018. The company has raised more than $562 million in funding according to Crunchbase, from investors including Temasek Holdings, Intesa Sanpaolo, and Nyca Partners.

U.S.-based Regtech Droit Secures $23 Million in Series B Funding

U.S.-based Regtech Droit Secures $23 Million in Series B Funding
By David Penn Posted on
Categories: Daily news, Funding
  • Regtech Droit raised $23 million in Series B funding in a round led by Pivot Investment Partners and UBS’ venture and innovation unit UBS Next.
  • The New York-based company will use the capital to support its expansion into wealth management, as well as to develop new products.
  • Droit’s signature offering Adept is a platform that helps keep businesses compliant by operationalizing laws, rules, and policies within existing systems.

In a round led by Pivot Investment Partners and UBS – via its venture and innovation unit UBS Next – U.S.-based regtech Droit has raised $23 million in Series B funding. The new capital takes the company’s total equity funding to $39 million, according to Crunchbase. Also participating in the financing was existing investor Goldman Sachs.

Droit will use the investment to support its expansion into wealth management and develop new products including Position Reporting, Transaction Reporting, and new cloud-based services. The company specializes in global regulatory compliance in the capital markets industry, and its flagship offering, Adept, is used by many of the largest financial institutions in the world for pre- and post-trade decision-making and auditability.

More specifically, Adept helps support compliance efforts by operationalizing laws, rules, and policies within existing systems. Droit continuously monitors regulatory and policy changes in order to update its platform as new rules, as well as new interpretations of old rules, are issued. The platform enables users to see exactly how rules and regulations are applied and uses a logic model with traceable pathways to the original source text to verify decisions. This provides for greater clarity, enhanced operational efficiency, and a process that is repeatable and defendable.

“This year marketed Droit’s 10-year anniversary and we greatly appreciate the support from our investors and their confidence in our future success,” Droit founder and CEO Brock Arnason said. “This funding will enable us to accelerate the innovation of our new product lines. We are also excited to join UBS Next’s portfolio of fintech companies and look forward to partnering with them on building out our wealth management capabilities.”

Founded in 2012 and headquartered in New York, Droit is a specialist in computational law and regulation. The company expects to leverage its Adept platform to bring its transparent decision-making infrastructure – currently applied to capital markets – to the world of wealth management. UBS Chief Digital and Information Officer Mike Dargan underscored this in a statement, saying that UBS “look(s) forward to extending our relationship with them across our wealth management business.”

Droit’s latest funding arrives after two years of “strong growth” for the company. Over this time, Droit commercialized four new products lines, and grew its team by nearly 70% including making key leadership hires in business development and technology. The company also has expanded geographically, opening offices in Singapore to help take advantage of opportunities in the region.
