The FM awards highlight innovation and influence within the global finance sector.
Trust and visibility are more important than ever. Whether you're offering innovative trading technology, broker services, or institutional tools, recognition by respected industry peers can make a tangible impact on how your brand is perceived.
The Finance Magnates Annual Awards offer an opportunity to recognise excellence in the financial industry. Supported by a fair and transparent process, these awards highlight innovation, performance, and influence within the global finance sector. For fintech companies seeking market leadership, this presents a strategic opportunity to strengthen their position.
What a Finance Magnates Award Means for Fintech Companies
1. Public and Peer Validation The Finance Magnates Awards are highly regarded in the trading and fintech industries. The voting process is divided equally: half of the votes come from industry professionals, while a panel of experts with extensive experience in the field determines the other half. This combination ensures that fintech brands are evaluated based on both public perception and expert insight.
2. Clear Market Positioning A nomination presents your brand to a highly engaged and targeted audience, including platform providers, brokerages, payment service providers (PSPs), liquidity providers, exchanges, venture capital firms, and other relevant stakeholders. If you offer essential technology or services that others depend on, this is an opportunity to demonstrate your standing among your peers.
3. Multi-Channel Promotion Nominated brands and winners are showcased across the Finance Magnates media network. This includes social media posts, press releases, and listings in FMDirectory. Logos will be featured on the FM awards website for six months, ensuring that your brand remains visible beyond the event. ➡️Discover the Exclusive Exposure Benefits
4. The Gala: Where the Industry Meets Fintech winners will be announced at the FM Awards Ceremony and Gala Dinner in Limassol, Cyprus, on November 6, 2025. This invite-only event gathers fintech founders, C-suite executives, investors, and leading brokers and technology partners.

5. Long-Term Business Value Winning a Finance Magnates Award doesn’t just add to your marketing deck.
