The Qorus Open Finance community is a unique platform and the only community where we find ways to connect bankers and insurers with fintech players. This community is providing a forum for fintechs and FIs to meet and see how they can work together. As part of the whole community program, we’ll be holding three dedicated newtech challenge competitions involving the best fintechs in selected areas of open finance (Payments, Inside Data & Decentralized Finance and Insurtech). 


Awards process

The first awards category recognizes the most influential initiatives and ideas in payments. Winners will be selected by their peers through an independent and thorough judging process and will be announced at the virtual awards ceremony on 14 December 2022.

Our internal selection committee has identified the leading fintech companies for the payment challenge, offering an opportunity for top-notch paytechs to showcase their most impactful projects. The nominees have presented their work and projects in a series of articles available on the Qorus website.
