Global financial technology leader FIS® (NYSE: FIS) has today
announced the launch of its 2024 FIS Fintech Hangout Series, an
initiative that fosters and connects fintech startups, investors,
financial institutions, FIS experts, and participants from the FIS
Fintech Accelerator Program. This series will spark meaningful
conversations, share best practices, and showcase the amazing work
of the participating fintechs.
The Fintech Hangouts supports FIS’ 9-year focus on identifying,
mentoring and connecting innovative fintech startups with the
broader financial services community. The program aligns with the
FIS Fintech Accelerator Program, which has seen 80 graduates help
advance innovation in financial services. Consisting of monthly
thematic events, the series kicked off in January with a deep dive
into importance risk and compliance, one of the biggest barriers to
entry for prospective fintechs. The event broke down these
challenges and what’s involved in setting up the relevant
frameworks for fintechs to address these important regulatory
priorities.
Neepa Patel, Founder and CEO of Themis was the featured speaker
at January’s inaugural event. A 2022 graduate of the FIS
Accelerator, Themis is the first compliance collaboration tool to
help companies accelerate partnerships with vendors, banks and
fintechs. Patel shared her experience and insights on how to
navigate the complex and evolving financial regulatory landscape
and how to build trust and credibility with customers and
regulators.
“We are thrilled by the reception of this new program and its
role to inspire promising new fintechs and foster a deeper sense of
community within the industry," said Annie Destefano, Head of
Ecosystem Banking at FIS. "As the company that advances the way the
world pays, banks and invests, we embrace our role in creating
opportunities that help early-stage scale emerging tech more
quickly and safely, to help modernize banking, bolster the economy
and bring consumers closer to financial empowerment.”
The FIS Fintech Accelerator Program is a 12-week program that
helps fintechs refine their product models and scale their
businesses. During the program, bankers, subject matter experts,
and financial service executives engage with pre-vetted,
market-validated fintech companies. This provides financial
institution leaders with the unique opportunity to work alongside
each of the portfolio companies participating in the program and
help refine their product models to suit customer needs.
Accelerator graduates have a track record of success with four
members - Lama AI, Forage, Sardine and Array - just named to the
GGCV U.S 2024 Fintech Innovation 50.
Applications for the FIS Fintech Accelerator Program 2024, its
ninth cohort, will open in March 2024. Fintechs that are interested
