Fintech Festival in March

Bank Pasargad Iran will hold the First Fintech Festival and the Second Fintech Trig-Up event, “to support commercializing innovative ideas in the financial sector and address fintech firms’ challenges”.

FANAP ICT Company, affiliated with Bank Pasargad Iran, will organize the three-day event during March 8-10, which will be held at BPI’s Khatam University.

Bank experts will help the participating fintech startups to develop and market their innovative ideas, in a 54-hour marathon session. Core-banking, business intelligence, data mining, customer loyalty and digital currencies are among prioritized areas.
