Bank Automation News today announced its 10th cohort of five startups that bring global talent and ideas to Fintech Discovery, the publication’s marketing accelerator.
Fintech Discovery, formerly INV Fintech, is a plug-and-play network that provides members with instant access to innovators, information and ideas that strengthen today’s evolving business needs. The accelerator aims to boost the exposure of emerging technologies and is designed to be the launch point for financial services companies’ roadmaps. These startups were selected after a rigorous review process by BAN along with its partners and mentors. Companies in this cohort include:
