FinLocker, a financial data and analytics company, announced the approval of a third patent in July and is in the process of developing additional techniques for securing data – both at rest and during transactions.
FinLocker received a $2.25 million venture capital round from Cultivation Capital earlier in 2018.
The firm, headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, provides a secure platform for auto loans, mortgages, small business loans, and student loans.
