American Banker names Linqto a Top Ten Tech Company to Watch

"This marks the first official recognition of Linqto Personal Banker as a part of the new tech wave that shapes the future of the banking industry. We're extremely honored, especially since Linqto just launched Personal Banker six weeks ago, at Finovate Fall 2014," said Linqto CEO Bill Sarris. "Digital banking faces a paradigm shift to accommodate smaller screens in the mobile and wearables verticals. Personal Banker provides a one-tap connection between bank employees and customers by using direct video, audio and text communication available on any mobile device."

Linqto Personal Banker enables the full spectrum of banking services on smartphones and tablets. With one tap on their phone, bank customers can instantly have a real-time connection with a bank representative. The connection between the client and a banker is completely private, with no involvement from other intermediaries. Transactions or financial consultation are handled in real time.

Almost all banking operations that someone can conduct at a physical branch can be completed via Personal Banker. It's face-to-face banking taken to a new level. For example, a bank's customer can deposit checks, transfer funds from one account to another, set up a new account, or get information about other bank products such as a loan.

From the bank's perspective, Linqto Personal Banker is directly embedded within the bank's current technology infrastructure. No major software engineering changes are required. A key advantage is that Personal Banker facilitates the distribution of customer-banker interactions traffic: low-traffic branches can service customers during peak times at other high-traffic branches. The bank increases utilization , avoids branch closures, and enables small-footprint or popup branches.
