The 14 Biggest Fintech Awards Shows in 2025

The 14 Biggest Fintech Awards Shows in 2025

The fintech industry has seen many award programs crop up in the past few years. We estimate there are 40 to 50 different programs. Many are virtual affairs that cost $200 to $400 to enter, and the winners are announced with a press release and blog post. Far fewer include a competition and an event at the end to announce the winners. Our calendar is focused on the latter.

Why are award programs popular?

  • Recognize and celebrate outstanding achievements, creating good content for media companies and trade organizations
  • Help raise industry standards by highlighting novel new products, innovations and best practices
  • Offer valuable exposure for businesses and individuals elevating careers while improving business and fundraising results
  • Competitions provide intrigue, drama and fun

See our list of the 13 key Fintech awards programs below.
