Join us for breakfast and get pitched!
All fintechs start somewhere and our Fast Pitch Breakfast is one of them! We’re hosting five startups from the FinTechNZ Hui Taumata’s ANZ Innovation Zone to pitch their ideas.
“Our Fast Pitch Breakfast event is the ideal platform to introduce startups who are providing fresh solutions to grow customer value with innovation in payments,” says FinTechNZ’s Executive Director Jason Roberts.
Five startups will pitch their ideas and the finalists will take centre stage later in the day.
Our Innovation Zone includes fresh solutions from a diverse range of fintech startups including business to business, business to consumer, mortgages, payments and more. Connect with the next generation of fintech innovators at the FinTechNZ Hui Taumata’s Innovation Zone, proudly supported by ANZ.
Those 5 start-ups are:
ProfitShape — dynamic business projection modeling software
Yarken — a cost transparency platform for your digital ecosystem
Tella — innovative new home loan software
Qippay — payment tools for business that reduce delays and fees
Wych — using data and AI to help people make the most of their money
The breakfast also includes a presentation from Richard Copus, GM Enterprise Architecture and Digital Innovation, ANZ. Richard shapes and executes ANZ’s technology transformation and innovation strategy and engages with various fintech and other key partners to maximise outcomes that ANZ could not achieve in isolation. Richard enjoys taking innovation concepts and seeing them through to a commercial reality.
Open Finance has the potential to dramatically change New Zealand’s financial services landscape, as part of a shift to an open data economy. This impending change makes this a key theme driving innovation within ANZ. This shift creates numerous benefits for consumers to use their data to gain greater insight into how they manage their money and improve their financial wellbeing.
Customer privacy and data protection remains critically important. As open banking develops, ANZ and the banking industry will continue to invest in data security, while educating customers on how their data is being shared. This will allow customers to make better decisions on how they use their data, while also remaining in control.
If we can learn anything from our global peers, it’s that creating an open data ecosystem takes time. It’s complex, costly and there isn’t a perfect model to follow. There is also a growing acknowledgement and appreciation of the different perspectives and capabilities banks and fintech companies bring to the table. However, we’re starting to see a convergence between banks, who have built a trusted, safe and secure ecosystem through strong risk management practices, and the fintech ecosystem’s ability to be agile, move at speed and present a new way of thinking.
“ANZ enthusiastically supports the start-up ecosystem in New Zealand, encouraging collaboration and the development of fresh ideas. We take pleasure in sponsoring FinTechNZ’s Fast Pitch Breakfast, where we have the opportunity to support 5 great ideas being pitched, alongside the FinTechNZ Hui Taumata’s Innovation Zone,” says Tanya Rystwej, Innovation Enablement Lead at ANZ.
