OBH was exactly the opportunity we were looking for to explore, experiment, and improve our product. It was great to see so much support for open banking innovation in the industry, both when it comes to feedback and availability for further collaboration. We hope this is only the first step towards making finance more accessible to everyone.

Dan Cobeanu - ProxyCash, Romania2021 Grand Winner

OBH highlighted aspects of banking I wasn't aware were open to disruption. It made me rethink certain concepts and gave us the opportunity to innovate. There is not much more to ask from a hackathon. Thank you for the well-organized event!

Kristiyan Stefanov - Dry Cash, Bulgaria2021 Special Prize Winner

We thoroughly enjoyed and learned very much from OBH. The event was well organized and the mentors and judges were experienced individuals with high quality input. The event also gives you access to techcelerator programs and potential partnerships with influential people in the banking and fintech environment.

Dennis Phieros - ElucidateAI, Cyprus2021 Participant Team

Great experience that helped us find a good solution for our product. The mentors were helpful and had clear feedback that pushed us in the right direction to make our product specifications clearer and more engaging.

Cami Rafiliu - FormApps, Romania2021 Participant Team

OBH drove us to launch TimedFX as a business. Our experience was fantastic, a very well organized event. The mentoring sessions were extremely valuable in consolidating ideas, improving presentations and helping us understand the many common roadblocks we would be likely to hit.

Shaun Daley - TimedFX, Czech Republic2020 Grand Winner

The hackathon was a very pleasant experience! We had fun and learned a lot from the interactions and open discussion with mentor and participant. This helped us a lot in working through our idea and defining it better. It was a great opportunity to meet new people and help our team collaborate better.

Alexandru Martiniuc - Spevialk, Romania2020 Runner-up Prize

I am incredibly excited by the projects OBH has uncovered and I believe that each year can bring even more interesting projects in the spotlight. OBH is a launching pad for early stage projects and a first step toward a collaboration with financial institutions and relevant fintech players.
