The Finnies | Thought leadership
Once again, the The Finnies Gala Night lived up to expectations, as being our industries night-of-nights, set within the atmospheric Forum Theatre in Melbourne. Great food, great company, and lively conversations were had by all to reflect on and celebrate the achievements of our vibrant community.
On behalf of all the team at Thredd, I would like to extend our congratulations to all the winners and finalists of the Finnies Awards, including Zepto who were awarded FinTech Organisation of the Year, Citoplus for being crowned as Emerging FinTech Organisation of the Year, and Hnry for winning the People’s Choice Award for FinTech Organisation of the Year.
In challenging times, it is even more important to take a pause to reflect on the achievements that individuals, teams, and companies are continuing to deliver in our fintech community. We are collectively facing a few headwinds, which is driving consolidation and some unfortunate failures, but also creating even stronger winners, as celebrated at the Gala Night.
Per the discussions held with industry colleagues at the Finnies VIP Lunch hosted by Ernst & Young, overlooking the iconic Sydney harbour, the outlook for the fintech industry in Australia presents exciting opportunities and challenges. More than ever we need to collaborate as a fintech community, and use the power of many to continue to make a difference. We are seeing the need for sustainable partnerships being key, so we can stay focused on our core value creation, whilst delivering against heightened customer expectations for even faster seamless experiences.
The importance of using quality data to make informed decisions and be more agile, harnessing the power of machine learning and AI, attracting and retaining skilled experts, and keeping ahead of rising fraud and regulatory changes are all areas that we see will help create the winners of tomorrow. Despite the bumps in the road, we know the future is bright. You can’t weave with a single thread, but if you bring payment innovators together you can reimagine the fabric of the payments landscape.
