Presenter Profile:
How they describe themselves: Sandstone is a leading provider of innovative online banking solutions to financial institutions globally. Our solutions include systems for Loan Origination processing, Internet Banking, Mobile Banking, Online Financial Management, and Online Applications.
Sandstone’s solutions have been recognised with industry awards over the past few years.

In 2011, Suncorp Bank’s Sandstone developed budgeting solution was recognised with an Innovation Excellence Award at the CANSTAR CANNEX Awards.
How they describe their product/innovation: Sandstone will be showcasing its next generation mobile banking app that contains sophisticated money management/ OFM tools, the latest anti fraud and security measures, and advanced user experience capabilities. Using the latest html5 technology, the app can be developed once and then delivered seamlessly across many of the popular smart phone app stores to run on nearly all smart phone devices. The registration process for the app locks the user to the device while page-fingerprinting technology ensures that fraudulent users will not be able to connect to the secure server.
