Competing in the Established Trendsetter category, Encompass was crowned category winner after its President, North America, Alex Ford presented a live pitch to a panel of industry experts. Taking to the stage in Toronto, Canada, she outlined Encompass’ solution, as well as answering questions from the judges. The panel included senior leaders from banks, venture capitalists, and individuals at the forefront of product innovation.

Now in its fourth year, Discover Perfect Pitch gives Fintechs from around the world an opportunity to go head-to-head and showcase their products and services as they participate in one of three entry streams: Ambitious Adventurers, Community Pioneers, or Established Trendsetters.

With this edition sponsored by MaRS, Plug and Play, and RBC, the competition is known for celebrating the best that the sector has to offer. Encompass was commended for what organisers have called “trailblazing” impact and success.

Sibos, being held in Toronto this week, is a renowned annual conference, exhibition, and networking event organised by SWIFT for the financial services industry.
