FinTech Australia announces 2023 Finnie Award Finalists
FinTech Australia has announced the finalists for seventh annual fintech business awards, The Finnies.
Known as Australia’s most prestigious fintech business awards, The Finnies celebrates achievements across the various components of the fintech industry and among the services that support them.
This year’s awards drew over 300 entries from over 250 fintechs across 19 categories, creating a shortlist of 156 finalists.
FinTech Australia General Manager Rehan D'Almeida said: “We’re actually announcing the finalists a bit later than usual, due to the amount of deliberation we’ve had between our judges.”
“There have been some tough decisions. As a result, any company or individual who makes this shortlist should be incredibly proud of their achievements.”
“Hosting this year’s Finnies event would not be possible without the help of our event sponsors, Patona and Global Processing Services. We would also like to thank our other award sponsors.”“It has been a challenging period for a lot of companies in both the fintech and startup sectors. The Finnies are a great reminder that our industry does strive under pressure and can achieve in spite of adversity. We look forward to seeing everyone on the night.”
