Unnax exists to meet a growing demand in the market: the need for access to as-a-service financial technologies.

Today, more and more companies are jumping on the fintech bandwagon in search of ways to improve the quality of their services and evolve their business models. But building these new financial services requires banking technology and regulatory authorization. Unnax, as a Banking as a Service provider, enables companies to develop innovative financial services. And it does so on the basis of a modular technology infrastructure that covers dozens of use cases. From user validation, to the creation of bank accounts, payment management, or the analysis of financial data for scoring processes.

Unnax is the first Spanish fintech to hold a triple license from the Bank of Spain (AISP, PISP and Electronic Money Institution). This qualifies it to offer banking aggregation services; smart payments; bank accounts; and virtual wallets. As well as onboarding and fraud prevention services. This range of technologies, accessible through a single API, makes Unnax the ideal toolbox for building the financial services of the future.

The startup, which was founded by Julián Díaz-Santos Hernández and Jordi Pérez Roselló in 2016, has raised €9 million to date with investors such as Grupo Elektra, Swaanlab Venture Factory, Athos Capital, Prosegur and Bankinter, among others.

Unnax is present in Spain, Portugal, Italy, France and Mexico.

It has the collaboration of 57 leading industrial companies based in the Basque Country and is aimed at startups from all over the world that apply disruptive technological solutions such as robotics, IoT, Big Data, additive manufacturing, or augmented reality to industrial, energy, health, and food chain organizations.

BIND 4.0 is looking for the best technological projects from startups, with the aim of fulfilling a dual objective. On the one hand, helping large companies accelerate innovation and boosting and improving their competitiveness through collaboration with startups, as a source of agile and efficient innovation. And, on the other hand, for startups to accelerate their arrival on the market in the hands of large international benchmark companies with direct access to the Basque industrial ecosystem.

BENEFITS AND FEATURES OF THE PROGRAM

The acceleration program has an annual call in which participating startups will get at least one paid contract for the development of one or more pilot projects with BIND 4.0 partner companies. And that is not all, the selected startups also get the following:

  • Participate in networking activities with the driving companies and public agents to facilitate the immersion of startups in the industrial ecosystem.
  • They have a mentoring service provided by world-class professionals, as well as a complete training program for the development of the skills and abilities needed to succeed in the industrial field.
  • They have access to different sources of funding and economic aid, as well as free workspace in the BICs (Business and Innovation Centers) of the Basque Country.
  • They will present their projects to the Venture Club, an investors’ club, aligned with the specialization of the accelerator, whose aim is to reinforce support services and promote contact between participating start-ups and specialized investment entities.

5 YEARS, 130 PROJECTS

BIND 4.0 is now in its fifth edition and, since its creation, has accelerated more than 130 startups and promoted the development of more than 200 projects, with a turnover of more than €6.5 million. This public-private initiative of the Department of Economic Development, Sustainability and Environment, which is managed through the SPRI Group and its UpEuskadi platform of the Basque entrepreneurship ecosystem, has become a benchmark for open innovation and acceleration of Industry 4.0 worldwide.

The platform has been selected as the winner of the 14th edition of the European Business Promotion Awards, organized by the European Commission’s Directorate-General for the Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEs, in the category of improving the business environment.

Help Flash is the leading product from the Spanish startup Netun Solutions. This invention has led to the creation of a new segment, the V16 light signals. Its acceptance and validation by both the market and institutions has been such that it has been the subject of a regulatory modification that has led to a change in the way in which drivers must signal in the event of a breakdown or accident on the road.

This automatic magnetically activated light device is designed to save lives by replacing dangerous emergency triangles and making signaling safer, quicker, and more intuitive. Thanks to Help Flash, in the event of an incident on the road, the driver can make themselves visible without having to leave the passenger compartment of the vehicle or taking unnecessary risks.

The device, which has won several awards, is recommended by the competent authority, and is already installed in more than 1 million vehicles. Following the forthcoming reform of Spanish roadside assistance regulations, an exponential increase in sales is expected.

The next step is an ambitious international expansion plan starting with EU countries and the UK.

Advancing is the first immediate liquidity solution for owners of rental properties. It is a fintech specialized in advancing to the owners who have rented properties the 12 monthly payments that their tenant would have to pay him/her month by month. The advance is made in a single payment and in 24 hours in exchange for a 12% commission.

Advancing brings total peace of mind to the owner, allowing him/her access to alternative and flexible financing. It also protects them against partial and total non-payment since it includes a non-payment insurance. The startup is the only solution on the market that advances owners one year of their rent.

Any owner can benefit from this service, regardless of whether they have an apartment, an office, or commercial premises. The only requirement is that the rental contract with the tenant must be valid for at least 12 months.

Applying for it is quite easy. The owner only has to make the application, provide personal data and legal documentation. The platform verifies all the documentation with its insurance company and, once the operation is approved, makes the deposit in the owner’s account in less than 24 hours.  And during the process the owner will receive all the advice he needs to solve any doubt.

Advancing was created through the venture builder Mutter Ventures. This is the first “pre-corporate” venture builder in Spain. Its mission is to build startups that reinvent or create services and products from scratch within mature sectors. All this through technological solutions focused on satisfying a need. Mutter Ventures is founded by Christian Rodríguez Fornós, Guillermo Antonio Gaspart Bueno, Carlos Galí Pardo and Alfonso Le Monnier Forga.
