FIVE OF THE BIGGEST MARKET CHALLENGES FOR FINTECHS
Credibility
Credibility is the #1 challenge for every Fintech. The financial industry must trust you. They have to believe you can help them improve their service, upgrade user experiences, simplify a process, or streamline internal activities.
Discovery
It’s also tricky to find reliable ways for prospects to discover your products or services. This is where we come in. We have deep and wide financial industry knowledge. We know how to get the attention of industry influencers early in the discovery process. This can be a big advantage for any Fintech.
Customer Growth & Loyalty
All Fintech growth requires new customers. Therefore, your number one priority is to implement productive ways to generate solid leads. We can help with this. We can also show you ways to build successful long-term relationships and develop a loyal customer base.
Lack of Resources
Many Fintechs lack the money and time necessary to manage internal marketing and sales teams. We can provide great value here. Offload these responsibilities to IgniteFI and watch your growth take off.
Strategy
Financial institutions today have evolving strategic needs, and while fintechs offer specialized solutions, they often lack go-to-market expertise. With over 25 years of industry experience and relationships with 300+ partners, we bridge this gap, optimizing contracts and revenue models for success.

This process involves a comprehensive understanding of your brand’s identity, a robust presentation of your offerings, and the essential skills to effectively communicate and deliver to potential clients.

“IgniteFI has been a key business contact for me. The team always represented the organizations they work for with professionalism, dedication and hard work. They know how to navigate and complete difficult projects that require lots of coordination across 3rd parties. The team is great to work with and highly respected in the industry.”
Kevin Prince, Cybersecurity Leader & Board Member“I highly recommend IgniteFI after having the opportunity to work with the team in a number of instances. They bring a unique blend of marketing and branding prowess with a level of thoroughness and attention to detail that is always needed, regardless of the size of an organization. The team has a strong work ethic and engaging personalities that brings a team up and keeps them motivated.”
Andrew Tull, Partner, Tailwind Business Ventures“I was first introduced to IgniteFI when Bonifii (orginally CULedger) was just getting started. The team singlehandedly tackled the job of educating the CU industry about SSI and verifiable credentials. I watched IgniteFI pull off multiple marketing campaigns introducing a new technology to a skeptical industry. This team knows their audience and knows how to message them—a real marketing communications pro.”
Drummond Reed, Chief Trust Officer, Evernym“The team at IgniteFI has a wealth of knowledge in fintech and financial services. They have been working with credit union leaders for many years. They have a unique ability to explain technology and show executives how they can leverage it.
They have the experience, wisdom, and communication skills to assist any organization grow their business and adapt to the constantly changing business landscape.”
“We’ve had the opportunity to partner with Julie for about a year now. We brought her in to fill a gap we had in our marketing and partnership area. She has been a joy to work with, and she’s earned my highest praise and recognition.
“We’ve specifically leveraged Julie’s marketing expertise and knowledge of the credit union industry. She’ll continue to be a strong resource for us as we continue to expand into the credit union space.
“Plus, in addition to the marketing support she provides, Julie’s extensive connections across the credit union market have generated productive partnership development results for us.
“The RiskScout marketing and partnership function is in a much better spot compared to when Julie arrived. I hope we continue to work together for a long time.”
Justin Fischer, CEO & Co-Founder, RiskScout “I began collaborating with Julie during our early days as CULedger. She was instrumental in getting CULedger off the ground. Julie took charge of our CUSO structure development, go-to-market strategy, masterminded our corporate and product branding, and was pivotal in the successful launch and widespread adoption of MemberPass. Now, as we operate as Bonifii, Julie continues to be an invaluable asset in her fractional CMO role. With her and her team’s expertise, they’ve significantly shaped who we are today!”
