Winners of the 2020 Finovate Awards

Celebrating the best and brightest of fintech

In September, during our first ever fully digital event FinovateFall Digital 2020, we announced the winners of the 2020 Finovate Awards, recognizing excellence in fintech across 23 different categories.

This is the second year of the Finovate Awards, which aims to highlight strong work done by the companies who are driving fintech innovation forward and the individuals who are bringing new ideas to life.

This year’s Finovate Awards may not come with ballroom gowns, confetti, and cocktails, but that doesn’t make the accomplishments any less compelling. In fact, the opposite is true. To be receive an award in the midst of a global pandemic-turned-economic crisis is often the result of putting the needs of others first.

Judges for the awards include media analysts, board members, bankers, fintech founders, and more. Each were given the difficult task of taking a record number of nominations and distilling them down to just a single winner in each category.
