THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN FOR COMING TODAY, AND CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THOSE INVOLVED.

      We are solving the cross-border distribution, product and tax suitability issues for over 100 financial institutions with automated suitability assessments. Our proprietary entanglement logic of client context, regulatory rules and product data leads to automated unambiguous suitability answers - even down to the individual instrument level. Banks, wealth managers and asset managers transform error-prone manual work flows into fully compliant automated process with our suitability service; speeding up the advisory process and significantly reducing regulatory risks. www.investmentnavigator.com Asset managers and global banks investing in emerging and frontier markets typically do not have direct access to local financial institutions due to counterparty concerns (KYC/AML/balanace sheet) or due to simple resource limitations. This results in only a limited reach of local liquidity often through one or two intermediaries. This is very costly - both from explicit costs (commissions) as well as from implicit (time, lost opportunities, and opportunity costs). www.zeroflows.com 7 ACC0718992528-5_FinTech Graduation Day 2019_A5 brochure_V9 SL.indd 7 22/03/2019 08:46

      Matterway helps operational employees be more productive by reducing the friction that they experience in the usage of their IT systems - which are often clunky, outdated and all over the place. As a result, employees spend less time on system administration and more time on high-value activities, such as talking to customers. This is done with our Matterway Digital Ergonomics Platform that essentially puts a smart UI layer on top of existing systems in the form of standalone apps or in-app sidebars. The platform consists of two parts. First, with our super easy UI editor, you drag and drop elements to create exactly the interfaces that you need to get your work done. Second, you use our automation engine to create macro-like automations that automate your underlying IT systems. The great thing about this technology is that no changes to the existing IT are required and that it integrates with all web-based technologies. This means, that digital ergonomics can be implemented within a matter of weeks or months instead of years. www.matterway.io Penfold is the app that gets millennials to save more for retirement. It uses cutting edge technology and communication techniques to educate young people about pensions, engage them in one of the first and largest assets of their lives, and get them saving more for later.

      OPEN BANKING The biggest health risk facing the UK today is money. Money impacts our physical and mental health. The cause and the cure is directly linked to our understanding of what we can afford. Our mission is to help everyone know what they can afford to invest, save, borrow and repay. Using open banking we make it easy for people to securely share their financial data with companies they trust using our Financial Fitness Passport. And we help companies use real time affordability information to deliver the right product at the right time for their customers. The centre of the open banking ecosystem is not the API aggregators or the money management apps, it is the universal financial passport accepted by all product providers. www.openwrks.com Trust Elevate solves the twin challenges, reliably verifying that a particular adult has parental responsibility for a specific child and verifying the age of that child (below 16 years). We provide businesses with a manageable and auditable solution to the requirements detailed in the PSD2 and GDPR. Non-compliance with, for example, GDPR can result in fines of 20 million or 4% of global revenue. Trust Elevate conducts identity verification, enables secure customer authentication for every transaction, and we run intelligent monitoring systems to detect and respond to anomalous activities. www.trustelevate.com 12 ACC0718992528-5_FinTech Graduation Day 2019_A5 brochure_V9 SL.indd 12 22/03/2019 08:47

      untied does your tax return in three minutes. Taxes are a pain for 11.7 million people in the UK. Most lack the knowledge or confidence to complete their return properly. Three million leave it to the last minute. 750k get penalties for missing the deadline. That’s one in three taxpayers. Some will be self-employed or gig economy workers, some will own property, others will have salaries on PAYE which takes them above the threshold. All will have a bank account. untied is a disruptive app and service that makes personal taxes easy for all of these people. It’s quick to get going, and once up and running untied’s automation will sort income and expenses across all income types, maximise deductions and improve compliance. At the end of the year the return is ready to be filed in three minutes. www.untied.io We solve the 'going digital' problem by providing financial businesses with all the core infrastructure, regulatory permissions and services through a suite of RESTful APIs.
