Voleo Attends OP Wealthtech Co-alignment Week as a Candidate for the OP Partnership Program

HELSINKI, Finland, Nov. 27, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Voleo Inc. (“Voleo”, the “Company”), a mobile-first investment platform company and its executive team, have arrived in Helsinki, Finland for a four-day intensive Co-alignment Week to create and present a pilot proposal to OP Financial Group (“OP”) – Finland’s largest financial services group, seeking start-ups and scale-ups to partner with and create new and innovative wealth management solutions to its almost 5 million customers in Finland.

Voleo was chosen out of 200 companies as one of the Top 10 Wealthtech candidates to present its platform for the opportunity to partner with OP Financial Group’s innovation unit – OP Lab. Successful candidates will be invited to join the OP Partnership Program, that includes a three-month long Co-creation Phase where each start-up will receive grants for developing a minimum viable product and co-create with OP to ultimately launch a product together on the Finnish market.

During Co-alignment Week, each of the selected companies will participate in advisor meetings, pilot workshops, and networking events with representatives from OP and its program partners Accenture LLP, CGI Group Inc., and Siili Solutions Plc.

Voleo believes in the power of collaboration and the advantages that group decision making brings to investment decisions. To take its solution international, the Company has developed a new concept for teams and social groups that come together to share ideas while controlling their own investment accounts, and will be presenting this for the first time to a panel of experts this week.
