The FIS FinTech Accelerator program is focused on identifying and fostering startup financial technology firms with promising, high-potential technologies.

Alexander Lempka, co-founder & CEO at Connect Earth, said:
“We are excited about this incredible opportunity to work with one of FinTech’s biggest names to further develop our solution and also welcome the FIS Impact Ventures team onboard as investors. We can’t wait to work with the teams at the Venture Center in Arkansas and at FIS.”
