The shortlist, which includes Zopa, Thunderhead and the Funding Circle, is the first of an annual exercise to track one of the fastest moving sectors in technology
Bill Safran, chief executive of Vizolution, said: “Being recognised as a company that is going places in the FinTech 50 Watchlist is a real recognition of the impact that Vizolution and vScreen is having now, and is likely to have, on the financial services sector.
“Our screen sharing technology is already revolutionising the way that banks, insurers and advisers do business. With the Mortgage Market Review launching just next April and increasingly stringent rules regarding how we interact with clients, it is increasingly important to ensure that the customer understands what they are buying and that the provider has a visual as well as a verbal recording of the conversation.
“Adding to that a significant increase in sales conversions and it is a win-win situation for both the provider and for the client.”
FinTech50 is described by Icon Corporate Finance, which hosted the awards, as: “A tribute to a hot and highly enterprising sector that is redefining the future of financial services. The FinTech50 Watchlist recognises the movers, shakers and downright disruptive technologies that, in our panel's view, will be the ones to watch this year.”
