| Event Description | The KPMG Fintech Innovation Challenge aims to source six groundbreaking FinTech innovations to demo to multiple invited financial institutions (banks and insurance companies) at the FinTech Innovation Summit, hosted by KPMG in London from 10-11 February 2016. This is the second annual summit arranged by Matchi to promote collaboration and innovation between both FinTech firms and financial institutions. Confirmed summit participants include Caixa Bank (Spain), Bank Hapoalim (Israel), Rabobank (Holland), Nationwide (UK), Westpac (Australia) and Liberty Group (South Africa). Key focus areas across the invited financial institutions were collated into six FinTech themes which form the entry categories for the challenge. |
