7th Annual FinTech Awards 2022 – Finalists announced

Everyone in the fintech sector is looking for some good news – and here it is – the 7th Annual FinTech Awards 2022 are being held in Sydney this week on Thursday 25 August and we’re ready to recognise the great entrepreneurial spirit of Australian fintech businesses!

“On behalf of our Event Partner, Ashurst, our numerous Supporters and Sponsors, and all the Judges involved, we would like to thank the fintechs who took the time to enter the Awards – the number of entries has increased, reflecting the growth in the fintech economy, and the quality of the submissions is excellent – making it super hard for the Judges!” said Glen Frost, Founder of the FinTech Awards.

“Whilst some sectors in fintech have faced challenging times in Q1 and Q2 2022, some sectors have boomed, especially tech around lending and home loans, partnerships between fintechs and banks/Non-Banks, RegTech and the use of Artificial Intelligence to help fintechs make better, faster and more accurate decisions,” added Frost

Now in it’s seventh year, the FinTech Awards celebrate the entrepreneurs and Australian fintechs who are doing amazing things, growing their businesses, here in Australia, and overseas.

Judges have decided the three finalists in each category (except for the FinTech Bank Partnerships, which has 4 finalists).
