KPMG has acquired Matchi, a global fintech innovation and matchmaking platform that connects financial institutions with financial services technology solutions and companies..<\/p>\n
The Matchi platform includes more than 700 fintech solutions and a database of more than 2,500 fintech companies that financial institutions can work with to apply fintech capabilities to solving their business problems and pursuing new market opportunities.<\/p>\n
Financial institutions are able to search for a specific company or solution, or they can use Matchi\u2019s proprietary \u201cInnovation Challenge\u201d capability to present specific problem statements to the global fintech market and receive recommendations on solutions from fintech companies.<\/p>\n
“The Matchi platform offers a curated approach that is much more rigorous than fintech databases that merely provide lists. Its design makes it easy to identify, match and enable collaboration with the most innovative fintechs and global solutions to address the most pressing needs of clients. We are in the unique position in South Africa in that the Matchi skills are based here,” said Pierre Fourie, financial services director for KPMG in South Africa<\/p>\n
New features and functionality are being planned for the Matchi platform in coming months. KPMG said it will continue to invest in the platform and integrate it to other fintech service offerings.<\/p>\n
