Financial Services

Voting for the Innotribe Startup Challenge starts today and miiCard is looking for your support to help us get to the finals in Osaka, Japan from the 29th October to 1st November, 2012.

miiCard came runner up in the EMEA StartUp heat in Belfast, Ireland in June this year. You can watch miiCard Chairman Stephen Brannan's presentation here:

Last night our CTO Stuart Fraser and I headed through to Glasgow for the ScotlandIS Digital Technology awards.

The event celebrates the very best in Scotland’s digital technology industries and we were in very good company with the country's leading tech companies coming together in one room.

Last week we sent our Director Stephen Brannan to pitch miiCard for a place in the Innotribe StartUp Challenge finals in Osaka, Japan later in the year. We came in at a very respectable second place and there was a great deal of interest in how miiCard is solving the online identity challenge in Financial Services.

Paul Makin of Consult Hyperion came to visit miiCard last month and interview CEO James Varga for the Tomorrow's Transactions podcast series.

Last month we were at the leading financial services innovation conference, FinovateEurope 2012, to demo miiCard.

Here is demo video showing how miiCard will be used will enable customers to prove their identities purely online, to the same level as a passport or driver's licence, to complete applications for new bank products on the web in real-time.

We were at FinovateEurope in London recently asking delegates to share their thoughts on the top FinTech trends and the importance of Digital Identity in 2012.

How did we do it? By giving them a miiCard cookie for their thoughts. Our chocolate, vanilla and gingerbread cookies decorated with the miiCard 'Identity Assured' image card proved really popular as this short video demonstrates:

We’re seeing Digital Identity heating up compared to twelve months ago and with Deloitte listing it as their Number #2 tech trend prediction for 2012 we wanted to hear what the experts in Financial Services technology innovation thought about the subject.
