Financial Technology, commonly abbreviated as Fintech, is an industry that had been gaining steam for many years leading up to the unprecedented changes of the Covid pandemic, which then made digital payments essential in order for businesses to survive. Fintech offers new kinds of financial services, opportunities, and flexible alternatives that are empowering wider, younger, and more diverse people around the world, giving them more tools to access financial independence than ever before.

These exciting changes have been powered in part by many Startups in our Membership Program who are playing important roles in bringing Fintech solutions to the world. Join us at Europe Conference for an up-close look and the opportunity to increase your impact with a seat at Startup Summit — a half-day Bootcamp with workshops, sessions, Q&As, and separate, intimate networking events for early-stage and growth-stage startups.

As the anticipation for Europe Conference continues to build, here are eight young Startups from our Accelerate Program that are advancing economic empowerment through Fintech.

Paymob Smart Payments

We’ve all had at least one experience, be it with a restaurant or a small store, where we are getting ready to buy something only to find they only accept cash. In today’s world, small companies are beginning to have access to tools that allow them to be more flexible and convenient for their customers. Paymob Smart Payments is the next big thing, which will allow any smartphone to become a payment terminal in minutes with no attachments or modifications.

Yet another example of a young Fintech company helping bring economic growth and liberty to underserved communities around the globe.

ApTap

Location: United Kingdom

In the modern era, subscription-based payments are everywhere and everything. Despite its utility and simplification, it opens up a whole host of new and complicated problems for consumers who often struggle to keep track of every service they subscribe to. Aptap provides a subscription control center, which works with your bank to show you a detailed and organized list of all your subscriptions and gives you the opportunity to easily cancel and compare subscription services in one place.

Janover Ventures

Location: United States

Investing in real estate has been one of the most popular routes to massive financial success, but it has historically been a route only accessible by those with deep pockets. In the future, however, Real Estate investing will be opened to investors of all kinds thanks to Janover Ventures. Wouldn’t you like to have a front-row seat to hear about how Janover is creating a platform to level the playing field in the real estate market?

Their mission is to give people of African descent the tools they need to thrive through financial freedom and success.

Profiter.ai

Location: France

Profiter.ai may not technically be a Fintech company by their own definition, but we think they deserve some recognition. Profiter is an AI engine for companies. Unlike some others on this list, their focus is on helping companies increase their revenue with predictive intelligence by optimizing inventory allocation. Their software helps produce more profit, awareness, and distribution control. It’s a pretty massive tool that anyone running a business will want to know about.
