Zaickathon VII: Let’s Boost Our Speed

Zaickathon VII is happening in December! This year’s theme, “Let’s Boost Our Speed,” challenges Feedzaians to rethink and optimize how we deliver solutions, focusing on creating seamless, scalable, and user-friendly systems.

Zaickathon is more than just a hackathon—it’s a space for collaboration and bold thinking. This edition emphasizes innovation that prioritizes user empowerment and self-serviceability, paving the way for smarter, more agile solutions.

As always, the ideas generated during Zaickathon are designed to bring real, impactful change to how we approach problem-solving and serve our customers.

With Zaickathon VII on the horizon and the continued dedication of our DEIB Ambassadors, Feedzai is driving progress at the intersection of innovation and inclusion. Together, we’re creating solutions that not only fight financial crime but also empower our customers in transformative ways.
