About Us
We at the Financial Alliance for Women are the leading peer-learning organization for financial services providers targeting the female economy, a large, fast-growing and underserved market. We acknowledge that fintechs are well-positioned to tap into this market, as showcased in our research launched in October 2020, “How Fintechs Can Profit From the Multi-Trillion-Dollar Female Economy.” The Alliance Hack was born to help fintechs embrace this win-win opportunity.
The Alliance Hack — in its second edition — will leverage the Alliance's deep expertise to support fintechs in developing solutions for women business owners to access financial products and accelerate their business growth. It will also connect fintechs with global financial services providers that have similar objectives and allow them to pitch their solution in front of a judging panel of global leaders in the financial sector and champions of the female economy.
The Hackathon offers clinics, as well as business and technical mentoring support to participating fintechs to help them validate their tech solutions and develop sound business models with the potential to meet the real needs of women business owners and transform women's investment capabilities.
And so, we’re inviting start-ups and established fintechs to innovate scalable solutions that can break down systemic barriers and unlock the full power of the female economy. Our hackathon challenges will call for tech-based solutions and proofs of concept (POC) that financial services providers can use to serve the women’s market and that women can use to access financial services and be fully included in the financial system.

Use of synthetic data to supplement a lack of historical data for fraud or risk monitoring AIDA solutions is becoming common. However this increasing reliance on synthetic data may lead to risks of unintended bias.
How can fairness be incorporated (i) in the use of synthetic data and (ii) when designing and testing such AIDA algorithms? This includes generating, handling, and testing of synthetic data to prevent false positives or disadvantages to specific groups.
Data Sets
APIs
- Digital Asset AML (Uppsala Pte Ltd): Enables a financial application to query the Uppsala Security Threat Reputation Database (TRDB) and validate crypto address reputation in real-time. Specifically, it can be used as a plugin for Anti-Money Laundering (AML), Anti-Coin Laundering (ACL) and Crypto Asset Fraud Detection System (FDS).
- Intellect Design (Account Onboarding): It accepts the information relating to the holders and creates a relationship between the holders. It also checks for AML for the holders, along with performing biometric and other checks. The system captures the holders’ signatures, and the process is customised as per regulation.
- Solis Onboarding: This API enables KYC screening against sanction lists, PEP lists and adverse media publications.
- Data Zoo API: The API can be used for identity verification and PEP Screening for AML checks.
