The FStech Awards celebrate excellence and innovation within the UK and EMEA financial services sector. Winning entries, across multiple categories, come from financial services institutions and technology suppliers leading the way in areas such as social media, customer service, compliance, mobile, online, systems integration, outsourcing and data governance.

Now into their 18th year, the annual event brings together over five hundred financial services professionals, investors, fintech enthusiasts and more. Final winners will be determined by an independent judging panel and announced at the renowned FStech Awards Gala and Dinner on 22 March 2018 at the London Marriott Hotel. Meniga was nominated in 2016 for ‘Best use of mobile’. This year Meniga is nominated along with companies Oakam, SEI Investments, Ingenico ePayments and Luckycycle in the category of “Best Use of Social Networks and Gamification”. The award focuses on how social networks or gamification can be used by a financial services organisation, and how such technology is making a real difference to the business or its customers.

Meniga is nominated for Challenges, a financial fitness technology, which offers fun and social ways to improve people’s personal finances. Challenges can play a fundamental role in re positioning banks as trusted financial advisors to their customers, building long-term sustainable and meaningful engagement.

Meniga’s Challenges offers fun and social ways to improve people’s financial fitness by making it simple and engaging to save money in small attainable increments.

By combining people’s financial profile, engagement analytics and personality traits Challenges recommends short term actionable challenges. Examples include category-based spending challenges e.g. “no fast-food for a month”; One-off challenges such as “the Chopping Block” shows users their subscriptions so that they can unsubscribe from redundant ones; and The Meniga Money Monster which “steals” variable, random amounts from a user’s current account and puts it into savings.

The “no fast-food for a month” Challenge is a fun way to decrease your spend on fast food

Meniga’s Challenges offers a selection of recurring and one-off challenges of varying difficulty. Users can join community challenges, challenge friends and share progress on social media.
