    FinTech Spotlight: Live Chat with Dan Dica of Lynx Tech

    What Role Does Lynx Play in the Fintech Industry Today?

    “Currently, we observe a significant level of collaboration between fintech companies and traditional banks. This partnership primarily aims to address the challenges stemming from the siloed functions in tier-one financial institutions. Often, there is a disconnect in how cybersecurity, fraud prevention, and anti-money laundering (AML) operations share critical information.”

    “Our goal is to bridge that gap. We offer machine learning models that deliver a comprehensive overview of fraudulent activities, cyber threats, and money laundering across various channels within a financial organization.”

    What Are Lynx’s Goals for the Next 12 to 18 Months?

    “We are experiencing remarkable success on a global scale. Presently, we are in a growth phase, actively expanding our presence around the world.”

    “We have recently launched operations in the UK and have an established presence in the United States, with plans to reach every continent.”

    “There is a growing demand for our solutions, particularly among financial institutions, payment service providers, and fintech firms seeking machine learning models that can autonomously learn and identify unusual patterns in behavior.”

    “Our money mule solution has seen particularly high demand due to escalating fraud challenges in the UK.”

    “In the next five months, we anticipate even faster growth, entering new markets and rolling out additional solutions globally to help banks better combat fraud and financial crime.”

  • FinTech LIVE: Exclusive Chat with Steve Round of SaaScada

    FinTech LIVE: Exclusive Chat with Steve Round of SaaScada

    🎤 At the FinTech LIVE London Global Summit, Steve participated in our ‘Financial Services Forum’ alongside notable industry leaders such as Russell Fisher, COO of Admiral Pioneer at Admiral Group, Dan Dica, CEO of Lynx Tech, and Bentzi Aviv, Global Head of Fintech Solutions at Amdocs.

    Can you share some of the main topics covered during your panel discussion, the ‘Financial Services Forum’?

    “It was an engaging panel, and one of the key takeaways for me was the emphasis on customer needs—particularly the concepts of hyper-personalization, data evolution, and the quality requirements for banks moving forward, alongside the importance of agility.

    “Agility refers to a financial institution’s capability to swiftly adapt its product development and service offerings.

    “Data is central to everything. Traditional banks often struggle because they lack the right data, whereas newer banks have a clearer advantage in this area.

    “Platforms like SaaScada position data as our core asset, which can empower banks and financial institutions to deliver what we call hyper-personalization for their customers.

    “We discussed that banks and financial institutions engage with over 7 billion people each year. In terms of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) considerations, why aren’t they doing more? Loan origination and the products they offer should encompass more accountability for climate risks and the challenges posed by climate change.

    “To me, the fundamental points were hyper-personalization and data. While we prioritize a customer-centric approach, we need to increase our efforts in addressing ESG issues and tackling climate change.”
