Big Milestone
🏆 David Hanna Wins Fintech Frontier 15 Award

Global Offsite Recap
Last month, over 100 Finmonauts from San Francisco to Singapore, Australia to India, gathered in Bangalore for a high-energy offsite. From deep strategy sessions and market planning to impromptu foosball showdowns and cross-border bonding, one thing was clear: Finmo’s future is being shaped by a global team united by a single mission: to simplify finance for businesses everywhere.
Product Highlights
Confirmation of Payee (CoP) Now Live
We’re excited to launch Confirmation of Payee (CoP), a major step forward in strengthening the accuracy and security of global payouts. CoP helps verify the beneficiary’s account name, number, and bank identifier before a payout is sent. This added layer of validation reduces the risk of fraud, failed transactions, and reconciliation delays; helping finance teams make faster, more confident payment decisions with less manual intervention.
Why it matters:
✅ Prevents misdirected or fraudulent payouts
✅ Cuts down on reversals and manual checks
✅ Improves reconciliation and builds customer trust
✅ Ensures compliance with country-specific safeguards
Finmo’s CoP feature supports outbound payments to 20+ countries, including Australia, the UK, Indonesia, Korea, and more. For Australia, this feature is mandatory and will be rolled out progressively through August to ensure compliance and a seamless transition for all merchants.
Forecasting Is Here: See What’s Ahead
Following last month’s launch of Cashflow Analytics, we’re now adding Forecasting, giving finance teams a clearer picture of your future cash position, quarters and months ahead.
Forget spreadsheets. Forecasting pulls real-time data from your bank feeds, receivables, payables, and accounting systems into one clean, intuitive dashboard, helping you plan with precision.
What you can do:
✅ Know your expected cash position
✅ Simulate what-if scenarios (delays, unexpected spend, etc.)
✅ Replace manual spreadsheets with automated projections
✅ Export clean reports to share with internal teams or stakeholders
Whether you’re managing growth or preparing for seasonal swings, Finmo’s Forecasting helps finance teams stay ahead, not just keep up.
