Seven flag carriers make disruptor list

A handful of Australian financial technology innovators earned a mention in a report by AWI, KPMG Australia and the Financial Services Council that identified "those companies most likely to succeed due to innovative use of technology and driving of disruption within the financial services industry."

Seven Australian companies made the list, including consumer lenders Nimble and SocietyOne.

Metamako, a genuine technology firm and vendor of Ethernet switches with low latency, also made the list.

Stockspot and Livewire Markets (both investment platforms) and Pocketbook and Selfwealth (both financial management tools) round out the list.
