The three early-stage startup finalists are:

§ Jewel Paymentech, a Singaporean company providing an automated risk management platform for banks and payment facilitators to manage e-commerce merchant risk through predictive analytics.
§ Bitspark, a crypto-financial services provider for the Asia Pacific (APAC) region, pioneering the world’s first blockchain-powered end-to-end remittance service in addition to a blockchain auditable feature rich trading exchange.
The two growth-stage startups finalists are:
§ Codapay, an online payment gateway that allows merchants to accept payments from the 97% of adults in Southeast Asia who do not have a credit card by giving customers a range of alternative payment options.
§ GoSwiff offers mobile payments for banks and mobile operators to help merchants in emerging markets get paid by accepting card payments, and to increase the quality and quantity of transactions.
Fabian Vandenreydt, Head of Markets Management, Innotribe and the SWIFT Institute at SWIFT says: “With a thriving ecosystem supporting innovation and startups, Singapore contributes to leading Asia in developing the fintech sector as a major engine of growth. It was a pleasure to welcome our semi-finalists in such an environment for the fourth consecutive year, and we now wish the finalists the best of luck for the finale at Sibos later this year.”
Eddie Haddad, Managing Director of Asia-Pacific at SWIFT adds: “With Sibos coming to Singapore this October, Innotribe will be taking the spotlight on the exhibition floor by creating a real fintech innovation hub. We endeavour to bring early insights into innovative ideas and technology advancements that will shape the future of the financial services industry.”
