LendIt Fintech, the world’s leading event in financial services innovation, this week announced the winners of its fourth annual LendIt Fintech Industry Awards. 

Celebrating outstanding achievement in 15 hotly contested categories, the winners were announced virtually as part of this year’s LendIt Fintech USA conference, the largest virtual fintech event of the year. The judging panel consisted of thirty leaders from banking and fintech, all of whom gave their time to review more than 500 entries from around the world. 

“Our purpose at LendIt Fintech is to elevate and celebrate the achievements of others,” said Bo Brustkern, LendIt Fintech co-founder and CEO. “This year has been a hard year for many banks and fintechs, and the many enterprises that support them. Now more than ever we need a reason to come together – even if it’s virtually – to recognize and applaud excellence in these circumstances. Out of challenging times comes true innovation, and that is very much reflected in this year’s cohort of winners. We offer our congratulations to all.”
