Speaking on the addition of its latest members, FinTech Australia’s head of strategic partnerships Rehan D’Almeida describes the global interest in Australia’s fintech industry as “red hot”, and how the association is in “an ideal position to help convert this into deeper connections and potential partnership opportunities.”
Stating that the company is “pleased” to join the programme, 1835i’s managing director Ron Spector adds that “we believe there are many opportunities for partnership, and we look forward to taking a more active role in this growing ecosystem.”
Noting how it’s already helped a number of Australian banks and financial institutions to mitigate fraud risk, digitise internal and consumer-facing agreement processes, and comply with industry regulations, OneSpan’s country manager Nigel Stewart added that “we look forward to partnering with FinTech Australia to enable organisations to deliver secure and trusted digital experiences through collaborations with Australian fintechs.”
Likewise, Endava shares in the excitement of joining the programme, with the company’s principal industry consultant David Marsh adding: “We’re excited to have partnered with FinTech Australia and look forward to helping Australia’s fintech and financial institutions leverage the latest technologies to compete on the global stage.”
