After launching Currensea in 2020 we have been overwhelmed by the support we have received for our world-first open banking multi currency debit card.

100 FinTech Disrupters

Currensea named #3

Recognising disruptive innovation in the FinTech industry, BusinessCloud compiled a list of 100 FinTechs from a long-list of 250. After our January launch, this was our first ranking, to enter at number 3 ahead of unicorns such as Monzo and Revolut was an honour and a clear indicator of the change Currensea brings to the FinTech market.

Now in its 13th year, the Emerging Payments Awards is considered to be one of the UK industry’s most prestigious events. The Emerging Payments Awards celebrated innovation and collaboration by recognising companies that have made significant advances in how we pay today.

IBS Intelligence Global FinTech Awards 2020

Winner – Most Impactful Project in the category of API / Open Banking along

The second edition of the awards aims to celebrate the best in the global FinTech industry. 

This year has brought to the fore the absolute need for digitisation across all industries and especially in financial services. The multitude of challenges exacerbated by the global pandemic has forced Financial Services firms to innovate at a speed never seen before.

This year they received 220 submissions across 52 countries with 122 banks participating for the 30 categories.

2020 has been a challenging but rewarding year for us here at Currensea, we want to thank everyone that has helped us on our journey so far. Here’s to 2021, we’re excited to see what the new year brings.
