While the Covid-19 pandemic has certainly ground to a halt many of the in-person business (and social) opportunities that the global banking industry depends on, what it hasn’t curtailed is the innovative spirit that permeates the sector, as evidenced by the wealth of impressive entries in this year’s Innovation in Digital Banking Awards. Instead, the general consensus is that the pandemic has accelerated digital transformation across the industry, leading to a leap forward when it comes to launching new products and services.
These awards are truly international with industry players — banks, consultancies and technology providers — submitting entries from across the globe, from the Philippines to Brazil. As such, the judging process takes into consideration the local operating environment and applauds technology solutions that have made a significant impact in a domestic market.
