‘boc hackathon #fintech 3.0’ aims to bring together teams of coders and start-ups over the course of a weekend, to create innovative solutions around fintech up until the stage of Minimum Viable Product (MVP), with prospects for further development into fully functional apps.
Through its upgraded open banking APIs and SDK (Software Development Kit), Bank of Cyprus will provide tech support to the teams’ apps, allowing them to integrate novel features, such as secure payment processing or data utilization services.
In a bid to best prepare for this year’s hackathon, two open API days will take place in Limassol and Nicosia, on October 9 and 10.
During the course of the open API days participants will be reviewing the latest trends within fintech, while Bank of Cyprus will be unveiling its upgraded APIs.
