The Singapore FinTech Festival (SFF) FinTech Excellence Awards 2025 has officially opened for applications, inviting fintech companies and individual contributors worldwide to compete for prestigious recognition and cash prizes. Organized by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) and the Singapore FinTech Association (SFA), the awards celebrate outstanding innovation and leadership in the financial technology sector.
This year marks the 10th anniversary of the awards, which spotlight transformative fintech solutions that advance financial services, foster inclusion, and drive sustainable innovation on a global scale. Winners will be selected across six categories: Emerging FinTech, Financial Inclusivity, Regulatory Leader, Sustainable Innovator, Thematic AI Champion, and FinTech Mentor.
Corporate winners in the five corporate categories will each receive a prize of S$50,000, while three individual FinTech Mentors will be awarded S$5,000 each. Eligibility criteria vary by category but generally require that companies be fintech-focused, with solutions deployed anywhere in the world, and do not necessarily need to be regulated entities in Singapore.
Applications close on July 25, 2025, with finalists evaluated by MAS and SFA based on innovation, impact, and contribution to the fintech ecosystem. Winners will be announced at the SFF Awards Ceremony on November 13, 2025, held during the Singapore FinTech Festival.
The awards provide a global platform for fintech innovators to gain visibility, network with industry leaders, and access mentorship and investment opportunities. Interested applicants can find more information and submit their entries through the official SFF FinTech Excellence Awards website.
This initiative underscores Singapore’s role as a leading fintech hub and its commitment to nurturing innovation that promotes financial inclusion and sustainable growth worldwide.
