Last week we sent a team of Urjanetters to Las Vegas to participate in this year’s Money20/20 conference, where they networked with leaders and partners in the fintech world. For many, it was the first conference since 2019, and the energy and excitement were palpable as financial services leaders met to discuss some of the big issues facing the industry today. Here is a brief recap and some of our key takeaways from the event, including our SVP of Corporate Development Erik Becker’s presentation.
Urjanet’s big announcement
As Urjanet continues to offer alternative data as a source for financial inclusion, a better digital experience, identity verification, and fraud prevention, we saw the need to build a platform to test the different uses of our data. On the Utopia stage, Erik Becker announced an enhancement to our financial services solutions with the developer portal and sandbox. This will allow teams to easily test various scenarios and see for themselves just how powerful Urjanet’s solution is.
