FinGo’s account aggregation technology is powered by eWise, international supplier of money management solutions to leading financial services providers. eWise aggregates and encrypts an individual’s financial data using their patented Personal Data Vault which is stored on the user’s chosen device, for example a smartphone or desktop.
Following FinGo's launch in Singapore, FinGo will be targeted at other millennial markets such as in Hong Kong. FinGo’s Lim said that for millennials, using a myriad of online platforms to manage payments and savings is tiresome. By presenting all the consumer's financial data simply, on a single interface and enabling payments to take place on the same platform, we’re catering for people on the go.
