“This new platform provides a simple and easy process for fintechs to help connect them into the bank where we can connect that idea to the right people who may be interested in what they have to offer and how we might be able to work together, no matter where they are based.”

NAB, Bank Leumi and CIBC formed a strategic alliance in September 2016. The move to establish the Global Alliance Fintech Link is aligned with their efforts to bolster banking operations.

Currently, the portal is launched as a pilot and will be expanded to incorporate additional challenges.
