It’s Friday, which means we’re back to reminiscing about the party we threw at Fintech Meetup last week ?? We teamed up with our partner, Hawk, to host a late-night party that brought the FinTech and banking communities together to enjoy a few drinks, have conversations, and (most importantly) make connections with one another. For the event, we put together a custom cocktail menu that featured some pun-alicious drinks, such as: - The Synctini ?? - Compliance Crush ?? - Embedded Elixir ? - Risky Business ?? - And more… We had a great time connecting with all of our friends at Fintech Meetup. We already can’t wait to see you all again! ??

Hawk is immensely proud to be working with Synctera, bringing best-in-class compliance to their banking-as-a-service (BaaS) platform. Synctera facilitates collaboration between fintechs and other firms, enabling the delivery of compliant, innovative banking and payment solutions As Lisa Durnford, Product Manager of Risk & Compliance at Synctera, explains in her blog post: “Hawk’s direct integration with the Synctera Platform provides Synctera’s customers and bank partners with everything they need to build an adaptive and effective program for fighting fraud and money laundering." ? ? “Hawk’s technology monitors end-user transactions in real-time, across all channels, and triggers alerts when it detects suspicious activity.”? ? “Then, within the Synctera Console, risk and compliance teams can view the specific reason the transaction was flagged, conduct their investigation, and save all documentation for easy auditability. All in one centralized platform.”? ? “Additionally, with Synctera Insights users can create dashboards or reports to identify trends and maintain oversight over the entire fraud and AML process.”? ?

I am excited to share that Synctera was recognized by Most Loved Workplaces for being a great place for employee career advancement! ?? As we recently kicked off our first performance and promotion cycle of 2025 we’re honoured to receive this recognition and to reflect on the things that make Synctera unique when it comes to career development. Growth has been a constant here at Synctera. And with the growth of the company we’ve been able to provide Syncterans with an opportunity to advance their careers at the same time. Over the past three years it’s been amazing to see that we’ve maintained a ~20% annual promotion rate, allowing Syncterans to take on new challenges.
