What makes us different
We are first movers - we were the first fintech accelerator and first API Sandbox in the Hungarian market. We work with the best and brightest, not just within Hungary but beyond. We partner with all the key stakeholders in the ecosystem, from leading fintech startups (Transferwise) to big corporates (Microsoft, KPMG, Google) to venture capitalists to regulators. Backed by MKB Bank, we focus on digital transformation through customer centric design and we have an open door policy for new ideas, collaboration, co-creation and partnership. We offer a 12 week long cooperation to develop ideas with stakeholders, build prototypes and validate it with customers with a chance of a signed partnership with MKB Bank. Instead of a cookie cutter approach we are keen to develop new products and services combining the best of both worlds.
How it works
