FormFree named TAG ADVANCE Award Winner

ATHENS, Ga. /ScoopCloud/ -- FormFree®, a leader in financial technology since 2007, has been named a 2024 ADVANCE Award winner by The Technology Association of Georgia (TAG). Part of the Fintech South conference, the ADVANCE Awards program recognizes innovative U.S. fintech companies with a strong connection to Georgia.

This marks the first ADVANCE Award win for FormFree, which is based in Athens, Ga. FormFree was recognized for its innovative new solution, Residual Income Knowledge Index (RIKI).

FormFree is transforming how consumers and their lenders understand their ability to pay with its RIKI. When paired with traditional credit scoring models, RIKI offers lenders a more complete understanding of consumers' creditworthiness and creates homeownership opportunities for those with little to no credit history.

"The ADVANCE Awards is the only program recognizing established companies that develop technology to improve our lives or create greater efficiencies through better fintech," said Scott Mills, president of William Mills Agency, and co-chair of the awards program. "We received incredible responses from applicants for this year, and the judges had a daunting task reviewing the nominations to select our 2024 finalists."

RIKI is one component of FormFree's Passport app, which provides a holistic picture of a consumer's ability to pay (ATP®️). With Passport's instant, direct-source, consumer-permissioned data insights, financial institutions can identify qualified borrowers from the first sign of intent.

"It's an honor to be recognized as one of the top fintech firms in Georgia," said FormFree Founder and CEO Brent Chandler. "Since the beginning, FormFree has strived to be a beacon of innovation and our flagship products, Passport and RIKI are certainly leading the way in lending technology."

Red Bag Solutions Named a TAG Top 10 Innovative Technology Company

ATLANTA, Ga., March 27, 2012 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- The Technology Association of Georgia (TAG), the state's leading association dedicated to the promotion and economic advancement of Georgia's technology industry, has name Red Bag Solutions as one of its Top 10 Innovative Technology Companies in Georgia.

The coveted Top 10 Innovative Technology Company Awards recognize Georgia-based companies for their innovation, financial impact and their efforts at spreading awareness of Georgia's technology initiatives throughout the U.S. and beyond. Each Top 10 company presented their innovation on-stage during the 2012 Georgia Technology Summit (GTS) on March 28, 2012, at Cobb Galleria Centre.

"Red Bag Solutions' technology is not only changing the medical waste disposal industry, the company is also putting Georgia on the map as a state where technology innovation can thrive," said Tino Mantella, president and CEO of TAG. "We applaud each of these companies for standing out as leaders in Georgia's technology community and look forward to showcasing them at our annual Georgia Technology Summit."

Red Bag Solutions (www.redbagozone.com) offers patented technology and equipment for the on-site processing of regulated medical waste. Since 1990 Red Bag Solutions has offered Steam Sterilization and Maceration (SSM) for safe, community friendly on-site processing of bio-hazardous waste. In 2011, Red Bag Solutions released its new Ozone Sterilization and Maceration (OSM) technology, a groundbreaking innovation for which it is being recognized as TAG Top 10 Company. Ozone sterilization and maceration is more environmentally friendly and less costly than comparable bio-hazardous waste management alternatives and represents a giant leap forward in sustainable bio-hazardous waste management.

"The competition for Top 10 recognition was particularly fierce this year," said Dennis Zakas, a partner and founder of Zakas & Leonard, LLP, Chair of Group Office Buys, LLC, and chairperson of the Top 40 Selection Committee. "The Top 10 demonstrate the depth and breadth of Georgia's technology community. We are pleased to recognize this group of companies and believe that the community will be just as impressed as we are by their innovation and impact on Georgia's technology industry."

The Georgia Technology Summit is TAG's flagship event that brings together C-level executives, entrepreneurs, technology professionals and academia to celebrate and recognize Georgia's technology community. This year's theme, Innovation: The Path to a Bright Future, builds upon TAG's public awareness campaign to promote Georgia's technology industry through an emphasis on the fastest-growing tech clusters in the state, including health IT, information security, financial technology, logistics and communication services.
