Judging Process

Judging Criteria

The spirit of the FinTech Awards is to highlight the BREAK THROUGH products, solutions and companies within the crowded FinTech market.

We intentionally keep the submission process simple, focused on nominees addressing the question – “How does your company or product break through the crowded FinTech market?”

The judging process is also a streamlined one. All award nominations are fully analyzed, evaluated and scored by our expert panel of judges, representing a mix of technical, business, academic and marketing expertise within the industry.

The evaluation criteria for the FinTech Awards program are focused around the concept of innovation. We have developed the evaluation criteria and a corresponding set of assessment tools and scales that we believe allow for a fair, honest and equitable assessment of each entry.

All entries will be judged on the FinTech criteria:

Innovation

Performance

Ease of Use

Functionality

Value

Impact
