LendIt Fintech Industry Awards 2020 Finalists Announced

·Sep. 22, 2020·1 min read

The finalists for the 2020 LendIt Fintech Industry Awards have been chosen. The Awards are in their fourth year and it is obviously very different this year, as there will be no formal Awards show. But the Awards will go on, albeit virtually, and we have sent our list of finalists to the judges who will then choose a winner.

Now in its fourth year, we are excited to announce the carefully selected finalists from the 500 or so submissions we received. From here industry veterans will decide on the winner of each of the 13 categories. Winners will be announced on the eve of the event next week.

Congratulations to all of the awards finalists!
