More than 3,500 nominations were submitted for the FinTech Breakthrough Awards this year.

James Johnson, managing director of FinTech Breakthrough, said, “Business lending has historically been a substandard experience for the borrower and one major fintech breakthrough includes a focus on delivering a stellar experience for the borrower as well as the lender.

With our digital platform, all types of commercial lending institutions, including banks, credit unions and those not regulated, are automating processes and creating efficiencies that ultimately strengthen borrower relationships and provide confidence in scaling their portfolios.
