The FF Awards 2025 returned to London with a spectacular night of innovation, inspiration, and celebration—bringing together the brightest leaders, disruptors, and rising stars in the global fintech ecosystem.
Hosted by Fintech Finance, the event once again transformed Old Billingsgate into a vibrant hub of energy, collaboration, and next-generation thinking.
This year’s awards highlighted the remarkable strides being made across consumer banking, embedded finance, payments, identity, cross-border innovation, and more.
With hundreds of companies nominated and an elite judging panel—including our own Susanne Chishti, Founder & Chair of FINTECH Circle—selecting the winners, competition was incredibly strong across all categories.
A Night of Big Wins, Big Ideas & Big Celebrations
The 2025 Awards delivered everything London’s fintech community loves:
- High-energy performances
- A packed room of industry heavyweights
- Brilliant speeches
- Plenty of celebrations (yes, the dance floor started early again!)
- And above all — a shared pride in the strength and diversity of UK fintech
It was also a joy to reconnect with so many partners, founders, and investors across the ecosystem — all celebrating each other’s wins and cheering on the next wave of disruptors.
