Innovation Showcase Participants

1Kosmos

The 1Kosmos platform enables financial institutions to perform instant high assurance identity verification during new account origination and account recovery, and it provides users a convenient digital wallet for passwordless multi-factor authentication into digital services.

By unifying identity proofing, credential verification, and strong biometric authentication, the 1Kosmos platform prevents identity impersonation, account takeover, and transaction fraud – ensuring compliance and trust while delivering seamless user experiences and preserving privacy.

Adoreboard

Adoreboard is the CX predictive intelligence platform that delivers Customer Revenue Impact (CRI). Using Emotion AI, it turns the feedback retail banks already hold into revenue-ranked priorities: which customers are quietly lapsing, what to fix first, and what it costs to wait. CX leaders walk into the boardroom with a revenue number, not a score. Adoreboard is a Gartner Cool Vendor, trusted by Bank of Ireland, EQ Bank and Allstate.

FFERM

FFERM (Four-Factor Enterprise Risk Management) Technologies is a SaaS company delivering an AI-powered enterprise risk-intelligence platform built on a quantitatively rigorous foundation, a production ensemble of ML models, examiner-grade composite analytics, and a deterministic core. The platform’s proprietary Four-Factor methodology,  Compounding, Severity, Likelihood, and Predictability, converts complex multi-domain risk into a pattern-recognized intelligence layer that boards and executives can act on. Approximately 150 quantitative, statistical, and AI/ML implementations work in concert to identify, score, and translate risk into qualitative behavioral statements, moving institutions from reactive scoring to proactive, examiner-ready decision-making. FFERM replaces the 40-year-old Likelihood × Impact risk matrix with four-dimensional intelligence that regulators respect and boards can act on. 

We support five industry editions: 

  • FFERM for Banking : All sizes of Banks, from Small to G-SIB 
  • FFERM for Credit Unions: Calibrated to NCUA examination and member-focused operations 
  • FFERM for Insurance: Aligned to state insurance commissioner and NAIC frameworks 
  • FFERM for RIAs: With embedded GRC capabilities for SEC-registered investment advisors 
  • FFERM for Broker/Dealers : With embedded GRC capabilities for FINRA-regulated firms
