New York, NY – January 12, 2016 – Wayerz announced it has been selected as a finalist to present its financial platform at the Fintech Finals in Hong Kong later this month.  The platform is an integrated software that helps banks optimize international wiring, inter-bank billing, reporting and reconciliation solutions.

FinTech continues to be the hot topic of the New Year.  The competition to win the coveted “Best in Show” at the Hong Kong FinTech Finals 2016 (FF16) to be held in on January 26, 2016 proves the same.

The 2016 FinTech Finals, organized by NXT BNK and FinTech HK, is part of the StartmeupHK Festival 2016 and promises to be Asia’s biggest FinTech conference and pitch competition in 2016.   The pitch competition wrapped up its regional semi-finals in Sydney, Singapore, Seoul, Mumbai, Kuala Lumpur and Bangalore.  The semi-finalists were selected from 60 shortlisted teams that were invited to pitch their company before live audiences and judges.

Wayerz is one of twenty-four startups from across the world that are going to Hong Kong for the opportunity to win the FinTech Finals 2016. Wayerz is vying to be the “Best in Show” and receive $10,000, as well as a range of partnership offerings.

Next Bank, a financial technology community serves as a network for designers, entrepreneurs, and finance industry executives.  Next Bank’s Founder Rob Findlay commented, “The FinTech Finals are going to be the FinTech event of this year in Asia, and perhaps beyond.  Between the amazing lineup of global speakers, the incredible burgeoning talent within each of these startups, and the support and enthusiasm from all the sponsors such as Visa, FF16 is sure to be a fantastic event not to be missed.”

The event is supported by Visa for the competition and Startup Village.  Matt Dill, Senior Vice President, Innovation & Strategic Partnerships, Visa said, “It is great to be able to shine a light on interesting FinTech activity in the region and develop a support network for Asia-based entrepreneurs. Visa’s strategic partner programs and venture activities help companies at different stages of growth connect with thousands of banks and millions of customers worldwide.”
