EMIRATES NBD JOINS HANDS WITH AFIN AS A FOUNDING INDUSTRY PARTNER FOR ITS GLOBAL
FINTECH REGISTRY




Global FinTech registry, ChekFIN to assist financial institutions in easy
identification and evaluation of FinTechs for potential collaborations

Emirates NBD has announced its association with ASEAN Financial Innovation
Network (AFIN), as a member and as an industry partner to support its global
fintech registry, ChekFIN.

Created in collaboration with Boston Consulting Group FinTech Control Tower (BCG
FCT) and Temasek-founded Affinidi, ChekFIN was officially launched at the
Singapore FinTech Festival 2021. Scheduled to go live on 01 December 2021, the
registry will provide a decentralised, open standard, and trust-based solution
enabling and empowering financial institutions to reduce the amount of time
spent searching for and assessing a suitable partner firm.  The platform
includes unique features such as a comprehensive taxonomy and tagging system to
facilitate easy search, easy access to aggregated and relevant information on
firms in a single place. A key feature of the platform is the use of Verifiable
Credentials (VCs), cryptographically secure digital certificates, to assess the
digital reputation and credibility of various FinTechs. Emirates NBD is one of
the ten global pioneer industry partners working with APIX to issue the first
set of VCs.

The presence of a global registry where consolidated information on vetted
FinTechs is readily available, will benefit financial institutions by bringing
greater connectivity in the Fintech ecosystem, thus enabling smoother and more
reliable collaborations.

Commenting on the announcement, Miguel Rio Tinto, Group Chief Information
Officer, Emirates NBD said, “As a leading banking group in the region, Emirates
NBD is always looking for opportunities for innovative collaboration in and
outside the region. Exploring partnerships with FinTechs can have a big impact
on enhancing the financial services industry through their innovative
capabilities, business models and cutting-edge solutions that can help enhance
customer experience. However, onboarding FinTech partners comes with its set of
complex challenges including a long lead time and regulatory and compliance
hurdles. We are delighted to support AFIN, for its ground-breaking new platform,
which acts as a credible registry of FinTech firms.”

He added, “As we continue to lead innovation in digital banking in the region,
we see this as an important milestone in our long-term digital strategy. We will
continue to contribute to the growth of the FinTech start-up ecosystem and pave
the way for more collaborations between financial institutions and FinTechs
across the globe.”

Sopnendu Mohanty, Chief FinTech Officer of the Monetary Authority of Singapore,
said, “Emirates NBD joining ChekFIN as a pioneer partner from the MENA region
shows their transformational approach in engaging with FinTechs and innovation
enablers. As a pioneer partner, it will contribute to the development of this
new game-changing engagement mode, leading to accelerated and sustainable
innovation.”
