Leadership, Innovation, AI Technology Shaping Future Growth

 

 

March 20, 2024 - Investorideas.com, a leading investor news resource covering Fintech stocks releases a special news report on Fintech leaders and innovation recognized by the industry, featuring AppTech Payments Corp. (NASDAQ:APCX), a pioneering Fintech company powering frictionless commerce.

 

Read this article, featuring APCX in full at https://www.investorideas.com/news/2024/technology/03201Fintech-Stocks.asp

 

Report Ocean says, ”The global Fintech market is on an unparalleled growth trajectory, projected to soar at an impressive CAGR of 25.0% from 2022 to 2028. Fueled by the surging popularity of digital payments, widespread adoption of IoT-connected devices, substantial investments in technology-driven solutions, and supportive government regulations, the Fintech sector is reshaping the financial services landscape.”

 

“Escalating investments in technology-driven solutions, including Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), cloud computing, and blockchain, are propelling the Fintech sector forward.”

 

With strong growth on the horizon for Fintech stocks, the Industry is recognizing excellence and innovation in payments and financial technology to showcase the leaders.   .

 

AppTech Payments Corp. (NASDAQ:APCX), a company that has been building its patent portfolio in the sector for years recently announced it signed an agreement to provide its FinZeo™ platform services to a credit union network with over 2,000 locations. Platform integration is expected to begin in March with completion anticipated in Q2 2024.

 

From the News: Following its launch, the FinZeo credit union offering is expected to be available to credit unions nationwide, positioning it as the Fintech platform of the future for credit unions and legacy banks. In 2022, there were over 4,700 credit unions in the US with total assets reaching as much as $2.17 trillion.

 

The FinZeo platform offers custom eco-solutions to enable immersive, high conversion, seamless user experiences for customers with minimal effort.

 

Continued: As Fintech continues to drive innovation in banking, legacy banks are challenged to keep up with and effectively compete against newer and larger financial services providers. FinZeo offers a turnkey competitive boost to legacy banks, powering them with technology services to offer better experiences to their members for a broad range of functions from mobile payments to ACH, and credit card processing.

 

“The roll-out of our FinZeo platform for the credit union ecosystem, which continues to grow in assets, presents significant opportunity to provide a fast, cost-efficient transition from legacy systems to tomorrow’s best-of-breed Fintech platforms. FinZeo is a great solution for credit unions and we expect to get solid traction in the space upon this rollout,” stated Luke D’Angelo, AppTech’s Chairman & CEO.

 

Named as an Iconic CEO to Follow in 2024, CIO Views says, “Luke D’Angelo CEO of AppTech Payments Corp. stands out for his innovative leadership and unmatched vision in the Fintech industry.AppTech Payments Corp. isn’t just a Specialty Payments company; it’s a driving force for seamless commerce experiences. FinZeo™, their differentiated digital platform removes the complexity of payment transactions for businesses of all sizes.”

 

Continued: As its CEO says, “We are the Leader in Specialty Payments focusing on building custom eco-solutions using our patented technologies.” This devotion to innovation translates to empowered clients, delivering high conversion and seamless user journeys with minimal effort.

 

Continued: But AppTech doesn’t stop there. Their unified Commerse™ Portal is a game-changer, as it revolutionizes how ISO/ISVs manage payments and banking.. This portal drives operational efficiencies and growth, meeting the economic demands of merchants. Within FinZeo, ISO/ISVs can access a comprehensive suite of solutions, tailoring white-labeled portals to their preferences and requirements.

 

Recently recognized for its excellence in Fintech, Jack Henry (Nasdaq: JKHY)  announced  earlier this month that its Financial Crimes Defender has been selected as winner of the Best Fraud Prevention Platform award in the eighth annual FinTech Breakthrough Awards program conducted by FinTech Breakthrough, an independent market intelligence organization that recognizes the top companies, technologies, and products in the global Fintech market today.

 

From the news: Jack Henry Financial Crimes Defender uses advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) and behavioral analytics to proactively identify new fraud and bank secretary act (BSA) trends in real-time including those involving checks, deposits, transfers, ACH transactions, and instant payments. It is built on a scalable cloud architecture with an intuitive user interface and analytics to reduce false positives. By automating repetitive tasks, Financial Crimes Defender reduces manual work in investigations.

 

Continued: "Financial Crimes Defender solves the fundamental problem for banks and credit unions – management of financial crime risk through proactive and automated detection," said Steve Johansson, Managing Director, FinTech Breakthrough. "We're thrilled to recognize Financial Crimes Defender as 2024's Best Fraud Prevention Platform. By bundling fraud and AML solutions, financial institutions of all sizes can make faster, more informed decisions, minimize false positives and wasted resources, and improve operational efficiency."

 

Futu, a leading Fintech company specializing in securities trading and wealth management (Nasdaq: FUTU) announced earlier this year that its subsidiary, Futu Securities International, has received several prestigious investment awards from the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME). This recognition validates its influence and industry positioning, particularly in the field of futures and options investments.

 

Subsidiary of Futu Holdings Limited, Moomoo Technologies Inc. announced on Monday that FinTech Breakthrough recognized the company with its 2024 annual award of "Best Stock Trading App."  Founded in 2018, moomoo is an investment and trading platform that empowers global investors with pro-grade, easy-to-use tools, data, and insights.

 

CNBC and independent research firm Statista announced they are working together for a second year to identify the world’s top Fintech companies, to be named in a published CNBC report this July.

 

Last year’s list of the top 200 Fintech companies included Chinese tech giants Ant Group and Tencent, US Fintech firms PayPal (NASDAQ: PYPL) and Stripe, and European companies like Klarna and Revolut.

 

PayPal Holdings, Inc. recently announced that Tap to Pay on iPhone is now available for all Venmo business profile and PayPal Zettle users in the US, enabling them to accept contactless card and digital wallet payments directly on their iPhones with no additional cost or hardware. This is the latest development in PayPal's ongoing efforts to help small businesses sell more, grow their business, and manage their finances more efficiently.

 

From the news: Consumers are increasingly going cashless. More than 40 percent of Americans surveyed say that none of their purchases are made with cash in a typical week, and that trend is expected to continue. As a result, accepting card and digital wallet payments in person is increasingly table stakes for small businesses, but until recently, businesses have had to purchase and manage card readers to do so. With Tap to Pay on iPhone, PayPal is helping millions of small businesses adapt to this shift in consumer behavior in a fast, easy, and more affordable way.

 

For investors, industry recognition is another tool for due diligence, but using the company’s technology is the best first hand test for defining the winners of the future.

Palm Beach, FL – March 19, 2024 – FN Media Group News Commentary – FinTech companies provide various financial technology services, tools, or solutions to other businesses (B2B) as a service. These services are typically delivered over the cloud, allowing other companies to integrate and use financial technology capabilities without developing these technologies in-house. Moreover, financial technology providers offer a wide range of financial services and technology solutions, including payment processing, Peer To Peer (P2P) lending platforms, fraud detection, blockchain technology, and more solutions.  These services are significantly used by banks, financial institutions, insurance companies, and others. Thus, growing focus on adoption of advanced technology in financial institutions to fulfill customer expectations is expected to drive the fintech industry growth.  A report from Fortune Business Insights projected that the fintech market size is projected to grow to USD 882.30 billion by 2030, exhibiting a CAGR of 17% during the forecast period (2023-2030).  The report said: “The pandemic accelerated the digital transformation of financial services. As businesses and consumers increasingly turned to online and mobile banking, there was a growing demand for financial technology platforms. In addition, financial technology companies offering payment and transaction processing services experienced a surge in demand as e-commerce, contactless payments, and digital wallets became more prevalent during the pandemic.” Active companies in the markets this week include AppTech’s FinZeo(TM) (NASDAQ: APCX), Nu Holdings Ltd. (NYSE: NU), PayPal Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: PYPL), Global Payments Inc. (NYSE: GPN), SoFi Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: SOFI).

Fortune Business Insights continued: “Moreover, the economic impact of the pandemic led to an increased demand for lending and credit services. These companies offering digital lending platforms and credit scoring solutions saw growth in this period. These factors fueled the fintech market growth during the pandemic.  North America is leading the fintech market share globally with market value of USD 89.61 billion in 2022. The growing need for customization, regulatory compliance, cross-selling opportunities, and FinTech industry trends are some of the key factors driving market growth in the region. North America, particularly Silicon Valley, is a global center for fintech innovation. Financial technology leverages this environment to drive continuous innovation in financial services.”

Cautionary Statement Regarding "Forward-Looking" Information

This news release contains "forward-looking information or statements" within the meaning of applicable securities laws, which may include, without limitation, statements relating to the engagement of HCF, potential funding options and strategic partnerships, completion of a preliminary feasibility study on the Wicheeda REE Project, advancing the Wicheeda REE Project, the expectations and plans for the Wicheeda REE Project, the technical, financial and business prospects of the Company, its project and other matters. All statements in this news release, other than statements of historical facts, that address events or developments that the Company expects to occur, are forward-looking statements. Although the Company believes the expectations expressed in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, such statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual results may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Such statements and information are based on numerous assumptions regarding present and future business strategies and the environment in which the Company will operate in the future, including the price of rare earth elements, the anticipated costs and expenditures, the ability to achieve its goals, that general business and economic conditions will not change in a material adverse manner, that financing will be available if and when needed and on reasonable terms. Such forward-looking information reflects the Company's views with respect to future events and is subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including the risks and uncertainties relating to the interpretation of exploration and metallurgical results, risks related to the inherent uncertainty of exploration and development and cost estimates, the potential for unexpected costs and expenses and those other risks filed under the Company's profile on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca). While such estimates and assumptions are considered reasonable by the management of the Company, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive and regulatory uncertainties and risks. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in forward looking statements include, but are not limited to, continued availability of capital and financing and general economic, market or business conditions, adverse weather and climate conditions, failure to maintain or obtain all necessary government permits, approvals and authorizations, failure to maintain or obtain community acceptance (including First Nations), risks relating to unanticipated operational difficulties (including failure of equipment or processes to operate in accordance with specifications or expectations, cost escalation, unavailability of personnel, materials and equipment, government action or delays in the receipt of government approvals, industrial disturbances or other job action, and unanticipated events related to health, safety and environmental matters), risks relating to inaccurate geological, metallurgical, engineering and pricing assumptions, decrease in the price of rare earth elements, the impact of viruses and diseases on the Company's ability to operate, restriction on labour and international travel and supply chains, loss of key employees, consultants, officers or directors, increase in costs, delayed results, litigation, and failure of counterparties to perform their contractual obligations. The Company does not undertake to update forward-looking statements or forward-looking information, except as required by law.
