“Our nomination for this award speaks to the incredible dedication and work being done by our FinTech team at BPM as well as the collaborative efforts of our industry partners,” said Daniel Figueredo, Partner at BPM.
“Through our relationship with innovators like the Financial Solutions Lab (FinLab) at the Center for Financial Services Innovation (CFSI) – a LendIt finalist for Top Fintech Equity Investor — we’ve gained insights into the FinTech industry and the challenges these entrepreneurs face, which translates into valuable expertise we can share with our clients. We’re thrilled to share this honor with our partners at CFSI and its FinLab company finalist, Ascend Consumer Finance.”
