Calgary, AB—May 17, 2017—POPcodes, a startup focused on improving consumer, merchant and acquirer experiences, has been selected to compete against some of Canada’s most innovative FinTech, PayTech, AI, and RegTech startups. The FinTech Cup, a collaboration between Payments Canada, 500 Startups, The Digital Finance Institute and sponsored by Paysafe and CIBC, is intended to foster innovation and talent in the payments ecosystem and drive awareness and funding for the finalists.

POPcodes, a startup focused on improving consumer, merchant and acquirer experiences, has been invited to compete in the Payments Pitch-Off and E-Pay Innovation Award at this year’s Transact 17.  The winner will earn $25,000 in prize money and the 2017 E-Pay Innovation Award.

POPcodes has been a member of the ETA almost since its inception. As such, POPcodes is thrilled to have been selected to be a part of the Payments Next Zone. “We could not be more pleased to have been selected to stand up next to such industry leading startups as Womply or Adyen. Though we may be newer to the industry, we believe our product will complement the offerings of companies such as these, and we can work together to change the face of retail.”
