The financial services industry seems to be awash with programs to support financial technology (fintech) startups. Accenture and local partners have launched fintech innovation labs in New York, London and recently Asia. Level39 in Canary Wharf has its own, while SWIFT’s Innotribe is going into its sixth year with a program that will pick a winner at Sibos in Boston next month. Yodlee has a lab, which I reported on a week or two ago, and so does MasterCard, as noted in a Fortune magazine article that profiled the company as a technology firm.
