The best UK fintechs of 2024
The best UK fintechs were crowned at the hugely successful awards ceremony last night.
We received hundreds of incredible submissions, and the judges had a very difficult time choosing between them. They debated and deliberated to select winners in each of the 22 categories, which were revealed at the ceremony in London.
The room was filled with experts from the leading UK fintech companies, as well as the incredibly experienced judging panel and other prominent people from within the fintech industry.
The biggest award of the night, FinTech of the Year, was awarded to Volt, who impressed the judging panel with their innovation on the product side. The judges found their open banking transformation to be really useful, and recognised that 2023 was a great year for the company, including both securing funding and receiving their licence.
Other big winners on the night include Steve Round from SaaScada, who won Director of the Year, and Amy Wei, principal product manager at Napo Pet Insurance, who took home both Innovator of the Year and Rising Star of the Year.
Congratulations to all the winners! All of the awards are very well deserved. We would like to say a big thank you to everyone who entered the awards and attended the ceremony.
And we must give a big round of applause to the judges, who put in a huge effort to pick the winners out of the record number of contenders we had this year.
