    Banks and financial-technology companies recently joined forces to participate in a friendly competition focused on the real-time payments space.

    Charlotte-based Carolina Fintech Hub partnered with The Clearing House, Oracle and Yodlee to host the RTP Buildathon last month. It drew 13 enterprise participants with more than 50 people registered, said Tariq Bokhari, executive director of CFH.

    Bokhari said the contest was meant to foster cutting-edge innovation among more seasoned, enterprise-level entrepreneurs. CFH also hosts an annual hackathon event in Charlotte geared toward college students.
