Feb22471 Facilitating the Marriage of Fintech and Banking Finavator is a company led by the exemplary Michelle Beyo, an up-and-coming professional who has recently won accreditation as the ‘Most Outstanding Fintech Executive’ in 2022 for Canada. Being based in a nation that is still woefully behind Open Banking, Michelle has built her company to be the shot in the arm that changes all of this, helping to bring together FinTechs and traditional banking in order to enable a more collaborative ecosystem, making them ready for the emerging new epoch. An award-winning strategy firm, Finavator seeks to bridge the gap between fintech companies and traditional banks. Nominally, it helps to evaluate fintech businesses in order to find the best and most innovative partners for its clients – the banks in question – in order to help forge a mutually beneficial relationship that will secure further growth for both organisations. When working with fintech businesses, it appreciates how much of their growth and development is based on consistent innovation. Thusly, it is passionate about driving growth through helping them build these innovations, getting them in front of the right customer segments through strategic marketing and enterprise partnerships. Experienced in working in everything from open banking payments and prepaid solutions to challenger banks, micro loans, rewards, and loyalty, Finavator’s specialisms lie in open banking and payment modernisation. In an increasingly online world, it will no longer do for traditional banks to continue operating in the archaic ways they are used to. Therefore, Finavator partners with fintech companies to develop innovative payment and digital services, bringing these to its banking clients in order to help these organisations to rise to the challenges of the prevailing technological epoch. This has resulted in a prime directive for Finavator of exceeding its clients’ expectations in every regard, allowing them to pursue additional revenue streams and relying on its respectful, engaged, and highly professional team to be invaluable partners to their success. Led by extraordinary CEO and founder Michelle Beyo – a mom, wife, and corporate expert – this company has come a long way since its founding. Allowing her own learning to influence the growth trajectory of the business, she is committed to consistent development, refusing to rest on her laurels despite her exemplary position within the industry in the OBIC. Ever emboldened and inspired by the brilliant team she has gathered around her, she is proud to say that their dedication and tenacity has ensured Finavator could pull through even the most tumultuous times of the pandemic, coming out stronger than ever. Displaying unshakable ethical prowess and pushing for Canada to keep up with the rest of the world in open banking technology, it is building a strong network within the nation. Nominally, this will help the nation at large as well as itself and its clients, creating a web of like-minded professionals who each believe in the golden rule that forges the beating heart of Finavator; that is, to work with innovation, passion, and enthusiasm, principles that have become the driving pillars of its team. Hoping to aid Canada in catching up to first-to-market players such as the UK, it is looking forward to a bright future, expanding its client base in Canada and the US. Between this, the growth of its team, and the growing number of invites its CEO receives, clients and partners alike can catch up with it at well known payments events in the near future, and it looks forward to expanding its growing network as a result.
