Financial Supervisory Service to Select Five Promising Fintech Firms and Support Investment Attraction

Recruitment of Participants for the "TechFinder Showcase"

The Financial Supervisory Service is identifying promising fintech companies with innovative technologies to support collaboration with financial institutions and attract investment.

On September 13, the Financial Supervisory Service announced that it will begin accepting applications for the 'TechFinder Showcase' from September 14 to October 13, for a period of one month.

The TechFinder Showcase is a program designed to discover promising companies with innovative fintech technologies and provide opportunities for collaboration with the financial industry. This year, it will be jointly hosted with Korea Growth Investment Corporation, the operator of the Fintech Innovation Fund, supporting not only technology demonstrations but also the participants' efforts to attract investment.

The Financial Supervisory Service will conduct assessments with both internal and external experts and finally select around five companies. The evaluation will consider innovation, expertise, marketability, as well as the company's contribution to the financial market and consumers.

The final selected companies will present at a showcase for financial sector stakeholders and investors during the global fintech expo 'Korea Fintech Week 2026', scheduled for November 26. They will also be eligible, without additional screening, to participate in the 'Fintech Innovation Fund Reverse IR' and 'Fintech Startup 1:1 Investment Meetup'—programs organized by Korea Growth Investment Corporation to support investment attraction. In addition, the companies will receive complimentary dedicated booths during the expo and practical support for presentations and booth operations onsite.

Companies interested in participating should submit their applications via email by October 13.

Jong-o Lee, Deputy Governor for Digital and IT at the Financial Supervisory Service, stated, "This event will serve as a catalyst for investment, invigorating the fintech ecosystem," adding, "We will spare no effort in providing institutional support so that outstanding, vetted fintech firms can establish themselves in the financial sector through this showcase."

The Financial Supervisory Service also plans to continue offering a variety of support programs to ensure that venture capital flows smoothly to fintech companies with innovative technology and business models but that face difficulties in securing funding.
