The Awards invite nominations of projects, individuals and teams from different sectors who have made significant achievements in the use and/or growth of FinTech in their respective arena.

Out of 14 award categories, 10 are catered for corporations which have delivered exceptional FinTech projects or solutions used in various areas in Asia, and 4 categories celebrate the significant achievements of individuals and teams in FinTech.

In response to the rising concerns of security in cyberspace and data, a new category, “Cybersecurity and Data Protection”, has been introduced to recognise effort in protecting sensitive information against potential attacks. Both female and male play a key role in maintaining the sustainable development of FinTech industry. In this regard, IFTA also introduced the “Female’s Pioneer Award” to recognise female leaders and practitioners who have made unswerving effort and contribution to challenge the status quo and chart new frontier.
