Building A Brand

In 2021, Openpayd conducted a survey that involved 150 decision-makers from companies across Europe who were responsible for identifying and implementing new products and services. The survey focused on businesses in various sectors such as Vertical SaaS, Horizontal SaaS, the Consumer marketplace, B2B marketplace, and the Gig economy platform, all of which had a revenue of £50m or more. 96% of European businesses plan to offer customers embedded banking services in the next five years FStech Dec 2021.

Although there is a significant demand for fintech and embedded finance, building fintech solutions can be expensive, slow, manual, and heavily regulated. This can make it difficult for startups, entrepreneurs, and businesses to enter the market and hinder innovation. However, Finxone aims to remove these barriers by providing easy-to-use, auto-compliant, template-driven apps that can be created in minutes and launched in days, thus simplifying the fintech development process.

Finxone has had numerous achievements owing to its revolutionary approach since its inception in 2022. “We have experienced exponential growth in a relatively short amount of time, which is a testament to the strength of our world-class executive and development teams. In addition to building a highly talented team, we have secured angel investment and have established multiple partnerships with customers and other businesses,” says Amanda. “Our approach has been centred around being frugal and efficient across all aspects of our organization. This has allowed us to deliver products at an impressive rate, which is four times the industry average. We attribute this to our focus on utilizing all available tools, including AI-based coding, to ensure we are delivering the most efficient and effective products to our customers.”

The company’s ability to innovate and deliver at such a high level has been recognized by the industry and has resulted in numerous accolades. Finxone has been named one of the top fintech startups to watch and has received recognition for its innovative solutions. “We believe that our unique approach and relentless focus on innovation will continue to set us apart in the industry and drive our success moving forward,” adds Amanda.
