Innovation & Excellence Awards

Presented as part of the Connected Banking Summit, the Awards recognise the institutions, leaders and innovators shaping the future of banking and financial services through vision, leadership and measurable impact.

These awards celebrate organisations and individuals who challenge convention, pioneer transformative solutions, and set new benchmarks — from digital transformation and financial inclusion to customer experience and operational efficiency.

Backed by more than a decade of industry engagement, they bring together senior banking executives, policymakers, technology leaders and innovators from around the world. More than a programme, they are a platform for the people whose leadership continues to redefine what is possible in financial services.
