FinSS Global are a start-up passionate about helping the small to medium Banks, Financial Institutions, Neobanks and Fintechs with Data Compliance, Debt/Collection Management, Business Lending Solutions, Open Banking (CDR) Enablement and Digital Transformation.
6. How / why did you start your fintech company?:
We are self-funded and started in 2019 as we felt there was a real need in the small to medium Banking, Finance and Fintech market for a cost-effective, Australian-focused solution and consulting business provider. From our recent and longer-term experiences we felt this market segment was being bombarded with modernisation and digital transformation products and services, that were simply not focused on their more localised needs. So we decided to build a few niche solutions, partner with global players we felt had new and exciting adaptable products for this market and go out and start spreading the word and identifying organisations who want to do business with an innovative company like ours.
7. What is the best thing your company has achieved or learnt along the way (this can include awards, capital raising etc)?:
Adaptability, keeping the focus, build resilience and do more with less. Being a start-up with a vision, building product solutions on a tight budget and finding organisations in our target market wanting to transform their business, with a Pandemic ever present, distracting their focus and spending priorities has been challenging for any small organisation with a vision in recent times.
8. What’s some advice you’d give to an aspiring start-up?:
Never lose sight of you plan and vision and as suggested above – be adaptable, keep your focus, create resilience and build a plan to survive with less but work harder to meet your business and personal goals and objectives.
9. What’s next for your company? And are you looking to expand overseas or stay focussed on Australia?:
Our focus is to prove our capability, products/solutions and grow our business in Australia. Leverage our strategic partners and once have a great established reputation within our chosen market, look to expand regionally.

Up, Thrive, Banjo, Athena, AfterPay
