The best of the US fintech ecosystem in 2025
Congratulations to our US FinTech Awards 2025 winners
The US FinTech Awards 2025 took place on Thursday 13 November 2025 at The Rooftop at Edison Ballroom in New York City, bringing together the very best of the US fintech community to celebrate innovation, impact, and growth across the sector.
The evening’s festivities
Hosted by Mike Turner, with on-stage introductions and commentary from JD Roberto, the evening brought energy, humour and a true sense of celebration to a sold-out crowd. Guests enjoyed a three-course dinner, cocktails, and spectacular views of the New York skyline before the awards ceremony began.
This year also marked an important milestone as we introduced Highly Commended recognitions for the first time, shining a spotlight on outstanding finalists alongside our winners. This showcased the exceptional caliber of entries we have had this year and highlighted the aspirational successes across the FinTech community.
Attendees also supported Big Blue Ocean Cleanup through an on-site raffle and silent auction, raising funds for an important cause while celebrating another incredible year of fintech innovation.
