Spotter, a Moroccan open finance startup, has raised an unknown sum of money from UM6P Ventures. LinkedIn, a professional networking platform, was used to make the announcement.
The startup participated in Morocco’s first Plug & Play acceleration programme.
Spotter, founded by Abdele Boukachabine and Mamoune Kettani, creates an application programming interface (API)-driven platform that assists financial institutions in analysing consumer financial data, allowing millions of people to gain greater credit access while expanding the capabilities of lenders and other fintech companies. The startup employs technology such as optical character recognition (OCR) to provide quick cheque verification to businesses dealing with an increase in the number of returned cheques.
