equipifi Thursday announced that it has been selected to participate in the seventh FIS Fintech Accelerator programme, in partnership with The Venture Center. The FIS Fintech Accelerator programme brings bankers, subject matter experts, and financial service executives together with pre-vetted, market-validated fintech companies to advance the financial services industry.
“equipifi being chosen for the FIS Fintech Accelerator program is an honor,” said co-founder and CEO of equipifi, Bryce Deeney. “Our BNPL solution is primed to help bankers and financial institutions innovate throughout the ongoing digital revolution, and we’re excited about the opportunity to meet with FIS’ network.”
