October 8, 2015 — CheckAlt’s Portfolio Companies Are Best-of-Breed FinTech Solution Providers
LOS ANGELES, CA (PRWEB) OCTOBER 08, 2015
CheckAlt announced it has made strategic investments in three FinTech startups. These companies join Zipmark, a company in which CheckAlt invested previously, under the CheckAlt brand. All four are referred to as the CheckAlt Portfolio Companies. Bankjoy delivers a banking API and a branded, modern mobile banking app to credit unions and community banks. Fundomate is a revolutionary online loan engine for business owners to get the funding they need -- fast. Street Invoice empowers freelance professionals and small businesses with an enterprise quality mobile invoicing app so they can easily take payments, create quotes, generate invoices and track receivables on the go.
“The importance of FinTech innovation can’t be overstated, for CheckAlt and the entire financial services industry,” said Shai Stern CEO and co-chairman CheckAlt. “Our goal, with these and future strategic investments, is to create a suite of complementary solutions, under the CheckAlt brand, that financial institutions can deliver to businesses. These solutions are from non-competing companies with supportive, innovative technologies. Today’s business owners operate within an ever-changing, highly competitive and dynamic market place. They need solutions which not only address traditional banking needs but help fulfil non-traditional needs as well.”
CheckAlt delivers fast and efficient item processing with advanced character recognition software, which is scalable and compatible with all incumbent core systems. CheckAlt also helps financial institutions attract and retain business customers and members with innovative white label payment solutions and eCheck technology. With today’s announcement, CheckAlt can now deliver a mobile banking app, access to alternative business financing, and an electronic invoicing and payment app for small business owners.
