NOMINATION CRITERIA
Fintech65 celebrates excellence across the full fintech ecosystem — not just the most funded or most visible. We look for genuine impact, whether public or behind the scenes.
01
Demonstrable contribution to Singapore's fintech ecosystem — through a company, policy, investment or community initiative.
02
A novel approach to a real problem — whether in product, policy, infrastructure or ecosystem-building.
03
Leading by example — whether a team of 2 or 2,000. We value authentic leadership at all levels.
04
Making the ecosystem more open, accessible and representative — for talent, customers and communities often left out.
05
Showing up year after year. Consistency and commitment to the ecosystem matter as much as a single breakout moment.
06
Giving back — through mentorship, knowledge-sharing, speaking or simply opening doors for the next generation.
