Innovation never sleeps and that’s why we’re thrilled to announce the inaugural South African FinTech Awards, set to take place in November 2025 in Johannesburg.
A Celebration of Excellence, Worth the Wait
Originally planned for 2024, we made the bold decision to postpone the event by a year. Why? Because when it comes to recognizing the cream of the crop in South African FinTech, we believe in doing things right. This extra time allows us to create a FinTech awards ceremony that truly lives up to the innovative spirit of the industry it celebrates.
What Sets These Awards Apart?
The 2025 South African Awards aren’t just another industry event. We’re setting a new standard for recognition in the sector:
- Unmatched Integrity: With audited results by a Big Four consulting firm, you can trust that every award is earned fair and square.
- Thorough Due Diligence: Each nominee undergoes rigorous verification to ensure they’re genuinely award-worthy.
- Transparent Judging: Our panel of experts represents every facet of FinTech, guaranteeing informed decisions.
- No Bias: Sponsors can’t nominate or win awards, keeping the focus on true innovation.
Categories That Matter
From “Best FinTech Start-Up” to “Cryptocurrency Victor,” our award categories cover the full spectrum of financial innovation. We’re not just looking at the big players – we’re celebrating the thought leaders, entrepreneurs, and data scientists pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in finance.
