Verrency has been selected for Plug and Play's accelerator programs in the Silicon Valley, Singapore and now in Frankfurt, Germany as the company extends its global reach in the FinTech market. Thousands of start-up companies apply to Plug and Play's accelerator programs each year before being thoroughly reviewed by Plug and Play executives and their corporate Financial Institution partners. Only a handful get the opportunity to participate in the accelerator. Verrency has passed this test three times in three different countries. "It is wonderful to see Verrency thrive and it's nice to have a hand in helping, not merely with facilities and typical start-up acceleration, but also in facilitating high-value connections and deals globally," says Saeed Amidi, Founder & CEO of Plug and Play. The Verrency platform solves major challenges for banks by accelerating banks' ability to innovate their payments and card capabilities without modifying their legacy core payments infrastructure.
