The two fintech startups Swisspeers and Futurae have announced a cooperation. Through this cooperation, Swisspeers increases the usability and security of its crowdlending platform.
The two technology companies Swisspeers and Futurae have agreed to cooperate. Swisspeers is an independent crowdlending platform that allows companies to raise debt directly from investors - without the intervention of a financial institution.
With the Futurae integration from January 18, Swisspeers will be offering its platform users an authentication solution that fulfills the highest security requirements while also providing unparalleled user-friendliness.
Futurae offers a comprehensive, innovative authentication suite. Its core product is “Zero-Touch”, a two-factor authentication solution that works without user interaction. The technology uses a machine learning algorithm to securely authenticate the user via ambient noise.
“With Swisspeers, we not only gain a new customer, but also strengthen the Swiss Fintech ecosystem,” says Sandra Tobler, CEO of Futurae. “Working with Futurae underlines our ambition together to always provide the greatest added value for SMEs and investors through simple services,” commented Alwin Meyer, CEO of Swisspeers.
