The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) and the Singapore Fintech Association (SFA) are calling for nominations for the Global Fintech Awards at the Singapore Fintech Festival 2023 (SFF).

In its eighth year, the awards, supported by PwC Singapore, seek to recognise innovative fintech solutions by corporates and individuals which have been instrumental in transforming industry practices.

There will be a total of seven award categories and 16 winners of the awards who will be announced at SFF 2023 which will be held from 15 to 17 November.

Also, new thematic categories in Artificial Intelligence and ESG Fintech will be introduced this year.

All finalists will be evaluated by an international panel comprising industry experts across multiple domains.

The fintech solutions by the Corporates awardees will be judged based on five criteria: (i) impact; (ii) sustainability; (iii) practicality; (iv) interoperability; and (v) uniqueness and creativity.

Meanwhile, the Individual awardees (under the Leaders Award and Contributor Award categories) will be judged separately based on the quality of the submissions covering their work within the Singapore fintech ecosystem.

Full details on the eligibility criteria for each award category is available here.

Applications for the 2023 SFF Global Fintech Awards can be submitted here for Corporate categories and Individual categories. The deadline for submission is 4 September 2023.
