Fintech continues to be among the biggest themes discussed in all quarters of the financial sector. As the way society interacts continues to be transformed by technology, so too does the way we interact with money.
Everything from payments to lending to risk management is being changed by mobility, big data, the cloud, and other innovations that are only emerging today.
To highlight those making the biggest strides, Banking Technology will be handing out its Banking Technology Awards 2016 in December at Tower Hotel in London. This week the organization announced its finalists in more than a dozen different categories for what is now its 17th annual award ceremony.
These are the companies and technologies that have a chance to walk away as winners.
