From our experience in the fintech market, most insurance companies do not seem to be fully aware of their potential in Open Banking. Most of them are still not using the opportunities coming from accessing customer bank statements to their fullest extent. Therefore, we think there is plenty of space to develop innovative solutions in the insurance market, all driven by PSD2 and Open Banking. finleap connect is able to fulfill the insurance market needs with 3 distinctive offerings.
The insurtech sector has been steadily growing for quite a period of time and is clearly having an enormous influence on the traditional insurance field. finleap provides three clear players that have brought never-before-seen ideas and have filled service gaps in the insurance market.
This autumn, finleap hosted its quarterly meet-up to celebrate its most recent ecosystem-wide achievements and the whole finleap family was invited.

On September 18th, 2019, finleap held its first-ever fintech summit. Over 200 industry leaders across the financial business and investment sectors met in the impressive St. Elisabeth Church in Berlin-Mitte for a day of keynotes, panel discussions and open forums. The goal? To determine how leaders can work across Europe, Germany and companies to #reshapefinancetogether.

While others went on summer holidays or spent the warm summer days at Berlin’s many lakes, we redesigned our office at the fintech hub H:32. After celebrating two (fantastic) years of moving into the H:32 building, we decided it was time to make our office look even more “finleap”. Take a look at our amazing new office!
The whole finleap team came together again for this year's summer offsite. The team, now up to almost 100 people, enjoyed a full day of activities spanning from Berlin's Treptower Park and all the way through Berlin’s young, multicultural Kreuzberg district.
