A hard problem. Fintechs that could solve it.
We fast-track the time in between.
Finding the right fintechs, testing them against your problem and comparing what each option costs is where projects stall. We run it alongside your team, then hand you the evidence your business case needs.
We facilitate the first three stages. You own everything after that.
FinTech Australia works alongside your team to fast-track the work that informs the business case: defining the problem, finding and testing fintechs, and costing the options. Then we hand it over and step back.

Four places, or bring us your own.
These are the problems corporate teams are bringing to us now. The sprint works the same way whichever one you pick.
Detect and disrupt in real time, across your channels.
We find and screen the fintechs already doing this inside Australian financial institutions.
The Scams Prevention Framework takes full effect on 31 March 2027, with six principles, civil penalties up to A$50 million per contravention, and a private right of action.
Lift verification and onboarding under the new obligations.
Reusable digital identity, automated verification, and the fintechs that have already integrated with a bank.
The AML/CTF reforms have applied to existing reporting entities since 31 March 2026.
Take the manual steps out of operations and the back office.
Disputes, complaints, collections, servicing and reporting, where cost-to-serve sits in operations rather than technology.
Usually the fastest sprint to a defensible number, because the current cost is already measured.
Put AI to work on one defined job, not on a slide.
We separate what is already running inside an Australian financial institution from what is still a pilot, and from what is a pitch.
Screening on evidence of production deployment is part of the scan, not an optional extra.
We have no stake in which fintech you pick.
- Independent
- We are the industry body. We do not sell software and we take no vendor fees.
- Filtered, not a firehose
- You get options screened against one defined problem, not an introduction to a directory.
- Access
- Fintechs turn up when we call, and they send senior people.
- Proven
- We are running this now with a major Australian financial services institution.
From one live problem to a costed solution set you can take to a decision.
Start with one live problem.
Thirty minutes. Bring one problem you have been trying to solve with a fintech and have not landed, and we will tell you whether a sprint would help. If it would not, we will say so.
- Your name, role and organisation
- A work email we can reply to
- The one problem, in a sentence or two: what you have been trying to solve with a fintech, and where it stalled
