Israeli Firms Revolutionizing Financial Technology
(Israel 21c-Jewish Journal-UK) Abigail Klein Leichman - Much of the innovation in how we move and protect our money is coming from Israel. At least 430 Israeli fintech companies are developing products for needs ranging from digital banking to fundraising and have lured $650 million in venture capital. Payoneer, founded in 2005 by Israeli serial entrepreneur and investor Yuval Tal, has more than 700 employees globally across 12 offices, and recently completed a $180 million growth equity financing round. Clients include Airbnb, Amazon and Getty Images. OurCrowd is a global online crowd-investing platform with five investment funds in which $320 million has been invested.
