FinTech specialists aim to shape the future of money movement at ICE London
Helping to shape the future of a ‘vibrant financial ecosystem’ is how Aleksandar Stojicevic, Business Development Manager at Slovenia-based payment solutions provider Fixipay, outlined his objectives ahead of the company’s first appearance at ICE London, the world’s largest gaming technology event (4-6 February, 2020, ExCeL London, UK).
Underlining the importance of ICE London as the place where the financial and betting worlds come together, Stojicevic said: “ICE London is a sound platform for interacting with both partners as well as clients whose actual needs and demands are the driving force behind shaping the future of money movement. Our primary objectives at the 2020 exhibition are higher exposure, networking and making new partnerships on a global level, as well as introducing ourselves to the market with our existing channels and money transfer solutions. Building a strong network for the movement of money around the globe requires proper integration, where security and speed of delivery play a central role in the minds of our clients. Fixipay will be at ICE London to meet them all and contribute to this vibrant financial ecosystem.”
Fixipay, which provides fast, low-cost and innovative solutions for sending and receiving money, currently operates between the EU and south-east Asia and is keen to make an impact with its presence at ICE. “ICE London takes center stage every year when it comes to the Gaming and FinTech sectors”, Stojicevic continued. “Our decision to participate with a booth comes from a conviction that it is the best way to show our presence, offer our payment solutions and interact with the key players and stakeholders in the industry. Our goal is clear – to simplify the world of money transfer by using smart, innovative and cross-border payment technology. We are continuously expanding our global network of suppliers, consumers and FinTech companies, which already count more than 130 countries around the world, and look forward to continuing this growth at ICE London 2020!”
Fixipay will also be showcasing its Wire Transfer Services (SWIFT and SEPA), B2B and B2C Cross Border Collection/remittance payments and currency exchange, as well as its expansive portfolio of services from Booth N10-111 at ExCeL London.
