Felicia Meyerowitz Singh, co-founder and CEO at Akoni (pictured above), said: “We are honoured to be recognised by Harrington Starr as one of the 100 most influential fintech companies for 2018.
“In 2015, we embarked on a mission to fix a situation where small businesses are denied access to decent interest rates for their cash, while large corporates make great returns.
“We are very proud to have gained the recognition of judges from some of the UK’s most influential financial institutions, incubators and accelerators for our commitment to delivering on that mission.”
Akoni has also announced that it’s planning to expand its offerings to SMEs and work with banks in the coming year.
