Georgia-Based FinTech Companies Recognized at TAG Summit Technology Awards

By Don Campbell, RightCourse

At the 2020 Technology Association of Georgia (TAG) Summit, one of the largest technology conferences in the Southeast, TAG announced two award groups that recognized Georgia-based technology companies for their innovation, financial impact, and their efforts at spreading awareness of the state’s technology initiatives throughout the U.S. and globally. What’s key here is that about one-third of the award winners are members of the dynamic and growing FinTech community.

Encouraging FinTech Signs Amid the COVID-19 Crisis

By Chip Harden, Ondot Systems

As the United States copes with shrinking GDP numbers and rapidly ballooning unemployment amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, there are decidedly few sectors not suffering considerably from the demand and supply shock this current environment has precipitated.

How Banks and FinTechs are Stepping Up Amid COVID-19

By Glen Sarvady, 154 Advisors

The timing couldn’t be better for TAG FinTech’s Friday panel discussion featuring executives from Alogent, Atlantic Capital Bank, Greenlight and Truist. Too often the business narrative has banks and fintech companies pitted against each other in a pitched battle for supremacy and survival. Thankfully this perception had already begun to recede- there are far more reasons for collaboration than competition among these players- but there’s nothing like a common enemy to help solidify alliances.

Minding the (Value) Gap: Big Tech Inches Closer to Consumers with Google’s Smart Debit Card

By Chip Harden, Ondot Systems

A global pandemic has proved insufficient to quell Big Tech’s continued foray into financial services. The end of March brought an announcement from Microsoft that they would partner with Plaid to launch a fintech app, integrating with its Excel spreadsheet software to provide personal finance support. Last week, TechCrunch revealed Google’s intention to unveil a “smart” debit card, apparently to serve as the payment vehicle behind Google’s checking account initiative announced in November.

Need Another Bracket? Atlanta Inno’s Tech Madness is Underway

By Glen Sarvady, 154 Advisors

One of the keys to innovation is the savvy to ride a powerful marketing wave, and the folks at Atlanta Inno have found a great vehicle. Voting is already underway for its annual Tech Madness bracket challenge, pitting 32 Atlanta startups against one another in a friendly competition decided by reader vote.

Six of this year’s 32 companies are included on TAG FinTech’s ecosystem map (and I see at least two more we should probably add), a testament to the prominence and growth of FinTech in Atlanta’s thriving tech scene.

The process is decidedly unscientific, which can …

Always a Busy Season for Atlanta FinTech – Introducing Our Events Calendar!

By Glen Sarvady, 154 Advisors

The spring and fall months tend to be the most active for industry conferences, and 2020 is no exception. Players in a FinTech scene as vibrant as Atlanta’s shouldn’t have to get on a plane- or wait out the seasons- to network or engage in thought leadership, though. A quick scan of the local calendar proves that’s indeed the case.

Organizations like the Technology Association of Georgia (TAG) have provided plenty of such opportunities for some time, with more events being added constantly as awareness and interest in FinTech continues to expand. There’s so much activity it can be …

Registration closes today for an excellent lunch panel discussion on the impact of 2019’s three major payments industry mergers on the FinTech ecosystem in Atlanta and beyond. Join us from 11:30am-1:30pm on Friday December at Maggiano’s Buckhead.

All six of these companies have significant Georgia presence. Now that the deals have closed, our experts will discuss their projected impact across many angles.

We’ve assembled a top-shelf panel that’s uniquely qualified to share insights from a variety of perspectives- talent acquisition/development, venture …

Fintech Investments Continue to be Strong

By Sean Banks, TTV Capital

When you look at the investment growth statistics of the fintech markets across the globe, one thing really stands out – funding is plentiful.

According to an Accenture February 2019 report, “Global investment in financial technology (fintech) ventures more than doubled in 2018, to US $55.3 billion, led by a surge in funding in China and strong gains in several other markets as investors placed larger bets in more mature startups. On a global basis, much of the growth was due to a nine-fold increase in the value of deals in China, to US $25.5 billion – nearly as …
