Our take

Episode Six (E6) was co-founded by a trio of fintech executives from Rêv Worldwide and NetSpend. They were in a position to see the rate at which digital and neobanks were developing new, API-enabled payment methods, and threatening to disrupt the market share of legacy financial institutions.

The main problem for legacy FIs is that their back-end infrastructure has not evolved quickly enough to keep up, so E6 offers them an API platform to more easily create products fit for today’s consumers. It’s safe to say that E6’s efforts are proving successful, considering that its clients include Mastercard, HSBC, Visa, Microsoft, and Japan Airlines.

The company’s footprint has also expanded impressively since launching in 2015, and it now operates in major financial markets including London, Singapore, Hong Kong, Tokyo, and Brisbane. And it recently launched its payment services on AWS Marketplace, reflecting its increasing influence in the global financial landscape and also highlighting its ability to adapt to evolving market demands. With a broader reach and this strategic move into cloud-based services, the company is well-positioned for a future of success.
