What people are saying...
The FinTech sector continues to be a leader in technological innovation, and the Fintech Awards Wales plays a pivotal role in recognising and celebrating the people and companies who are making an impact. I’m thrilled to open the application and nomination process for 2026, and I’m confident we’ll witness remarkable talent and groundbreaking contributions this year.
Matt Hyde
The Welsh fintech industry has real momentum, and it’s important that we continue to highlight and celebrate this. These awards not only give great companies within our ecosystem recognition, they also showcase the incredible and increasing talent within South Wales. It’s an opportunity for us to come together, share what we’re learning and achieving, and see how we can push the ecosystem to the next level. We’re delighted to be supporting Welsh Fintech again this year.

I encourage everyone to nominate those teams and individuals that are driving positive change and achieving success in this thriving industry, which is an important part of the stronger, more prosperous Welsh economy we are delivering.
