Users of the platform can gain access to its database of over 2,500 fintech firms and over 700 curated fintech solutions.
In order to be eligible for the Matchi platform, fintech firms and solutions are reviewed and undergo a curation process. At the same time, financial institutions can also use the platform’s Innovation Challenge capability to present problems to the global fintech market and get recommendations from fintech innovators.
KPMG International global co-leader of fintech Ian Pollari said: “The acquisition of Matchi adds to the capabilities of KPMG firms to bring market-validated ideas to financial services clients’ toughest challenges.
“The Matchi platform offers a curated approach that is much more rigorous than fintech databases that merely provide lists.”
