BOSTON, March 13, 2018 (Newswire.com) - ​​FinMason Inc., a Boston-based FinTech and investment analytics firm, announced today that BOND.ai, a current cohort in FinTech Sandbox’s startup accelerator program, will be using FinRiver™ to power their investment analytics. BOND.ai is building a conversational artificial intelligence (AI) app that helps consumers optimize spending, refinance loans, build goal-based savings and invest. Through FinRiver, BOND.ai will be able to leverage a set of flexible and lightning-fast investment analytics APIs to accelerate building their app.

“Developing an analytics engine in-house would be an enormous undertaking,” said Uday Akkaraju, founder and CEO of BOND.ai. “That’s why we’re excited to have FinRiver in our corner. It will enable us to accelerate our development and prototyping processes, significantly reducing our time-to-market.”

The real pleasure of being a FinTech Sandbox partner is working with highly innovate and exciting companies like BOND.ai. What BOND.ai is doing should positively impact the financial lives of millions of ordinary people, and they are doing it with some really cool and engaging technology. I can't wait to see their product come to market and flourish.
