View Previous Editions
FinTech Australia in partnership with Investment NSW and Vanta, presents the 3rd Edition of the Banking Reverse Pitch. The initiative is calling on local and global companies to support the Australian banking and finance sector to best leverage the opportunities available through creative thinking and innovative solutions. The intent of the Banking Reverse Pitch is to ensure a broad selection of companies including fintechs and non-fintechs to have the opportunity to submit solutions to the issued problem statements.
In collaboration with Beyond Bank, Citi and x15ventures, these problem statements focus on key issues facing the banking and finance sector today. Join us on May 13 to hear directly from the banks, participate in a live Q&A session, and connect with industry leaders during our networking session.
Please note that your application will go through an approval step and you will receive a confirmation email with your ticket if approved.
