Zepto NewsBlogAwards

2022 has been huge for Zepto. It has seen investment, immense growth and innovation — the kind of innovation that helped deliver this gong at the 7th Annual FinTech Awards. And we couldn't be prouder.

The Australian fintech community is blessed to have a number of annual awards programs that showcase the incredible thinking, products, solutions and collaborations bubbling away in our neck of the woods. The 7th Annual FinTech Awards were no exception.

Zepto was up for two awards:

  • Best Innovation in Payments
  • Best FinTech Growth Story

CEO Chris Jewell and CCO Carolyn Breeze donned their finery and attended the gala presentation in Sydney, and were delighted to collect the Best Innovation in Payments award on behalf of the business. The Best FinTech Growth Story award was rightly won by Airwallex — theirs really is an astonishing growth story.

"I am incredibly proud of our Zepto team for winning 'Best Innovation in Payments' at tonight's 7th Annual FinTech Awards," said Carolyn Breeze.

"It was an honour to accept this award with Chris Jewell on behalf of everyone at Zepto who has played a role in building and enabling our platform. Congratulations to all our customers, partners and friends in the ecosystem who were also recognised tonight," she added.

Here's the full list of finalists and winners from the 7th Annual FinTech Awards.

Huge thanks must go to Glen Frost and the team at Australian FinTech for a wonderful night in Sydney celebrating the very best of Australia's FinTech community for 2022.
