With the final in our hometown, we look forward to showing our fellow finalists our city. With us being in a fundraising round, winning the Amsterdam audience vote has proved an excellent piece of news for our new investors.”

Belleron, which was selected by the panel of experts, helps fight large-scale, difficult-to-detect banking attacks.

Next to that CAPTURE® provides a managed response based on the attack’s characteristics, keeping banks open for business even under pressure.

Bas Uildriks, COO, Belleron, stated: “CAPTURE® covers the world of financial crime, financial terrorism and financial innovation. Our machine learning models oversee the bank’s entire ecosystem from a top-down perspective, and provide real-time insights when an attack unfolds. We are thrilled to be able to share our solution with a widening audience in our campaign to extinguish financial crime.”

We’re only halfway through the regional heats, but so far our final contestants span actionable data and analytics,security, engagement and now financial crime and hedging. This is reflective of the wide array of needs that banks have in the modern world, where data and security are their biggest assets, and connecting with consumers is their primary goal in order to remain competitive. We’re excited to bring each of these fintechs to showcase their solutions at the Temenos Community Forum, being held May 22-24, to financial institutions from around the world.”
