We are passionate about showcasing the very best from the brightest startups to the most established companies, who are paving the way for a more innovative, diverse and inclusive industry.

Our awards categories reflect the breadth and depth of the Irish Fintech industry, recognising those who are making a real impact on the future of financial technology. We celebrate the individuals who are driving this sector forward.

Whether you work in a regulated bank, an established payments business, a challenger start-up, or public service, the National Fintech Awards serve to recognise the contribution and achievement of those who are leading with innovation and making a difference. 

Across these 15 prestigious awards, we will give a platform for companies and individuals who have driven excellence and innovation in the Irish Fintech sector to celebrate and share their work.

Concluding the evening with the final three landward awards.

We will recognise an individual who has made a Lifetime Achievement in Fintech in Ireland, followed by an individual who has made a pioneering contribution in the last year and finally recognising the overall Company of the Year.
