Every time you use a coupon, you enter a contest with a chance to win. Location awareness generates alerts on your phone. Show coupon to the merchant for a discount, and customer can report any customer experience issues.

Offers and deals from local and national merchants. – Branton, Managing Partner Dave DeFazio, Partner Help companies save money with local merchants via mobile. This will be VERY popular with community banks and perhaps community credit unions. BaZing also has an integrated loyalty program. They are showing location-based offers/coupons w/o the user having to do anything. Their white label mobile banking product is called “BaZing” which is kind of a location-based Groupon integrated with the bank’s core system. “Help customers save money while they are spending it, especially with local merchants.” I REALLY like that part. I saw these folks present at Finovate Fall in New York last fall. Strateg圜orps – Mike Branton, Managing Partner Dave DeFazio, Partner. Feature phones can become enabled to work with mobile wallets. Encrypted sounds that are read by a website, this is totally new to me! Multi-layer security protects against phishing. – Ruiz, CEO and Head of Innovation Brian Roeten, Senior Project Manager This is an alternative to NFC, using standard equipment in all mobile phones (even feature phones). It looks like it helps to make a “dumb” phone into a smart device using sonic waves. Showing an older phone with an iPad Safari app, the phone then rings and the SOUND authenticates the phone and the application. I think they are getting ready to show a contactless payment via mobile w/o a built in RFC chip.

“Only 15% of mobile phones in the world are RFC-ready.” Man, I thought it would be higher. Pixeliris – Emmanuel Ruiz, CEO and Head of Innovation Brian Roeten, Senior Project Manager. “Allows people to invest in the companies they love.” I’m a huge advocate in brand, and its value, but how important should it be in your investment decision? What can they do to educate investors on financials? – Steven Crowdsourcing, but with some level of investor protection. Interesting offering, but light on actual demo and heavy on packaged video– not very consistent with the core concept of Finovate. Same price and timing of IPO that institutional investors receive. They provide an “open prospectus”, curated to provide individual investors with key information. Loyal 3 helped sell stock for the AMC IPO. – seek to make it easier for consumers to purchase stocks, including IPOs. I don’t think I’ve ever seen something quite like it. I really like the concept but I’m going to have to study this more. Sign-up to be notified when initial public offerings are available on LOYA元 We are a broker/dealer as well as a technology company. LOYA元’s slogan “Investing for All” “Crowdsourcing for IPO’s”.
