About the Event
Held in conjunction with Bank Negara Malaysia and Securities Commission Malaysia MyFintechWeek, the Fintech Frontiers 50 Awards aims to spotlight Southeast Asia’s best fintech founders and inspire the next generation of entrepreneurs.
Our Promise: Merit, Not Money
At Fintech Frontiers 50, we celebrate excellence—no pay-to-play here. We don’t accept any sponsorship from nominees, never charge fees for recognition, and our winners enjoy complimentary tickets. Our award is powered by sponsors who truly believe in uplifting Southeast Asia’s fintech scene, ensuring every winner is celebrated on merit alone.

This includes entrepreneurs behind billion-dollar companies like Tyme Group and Pine Labs.
