We are pleased to announce that OpenFin won the ‘Fintech Innovation Award’ at the 2019 TradingTech Insight Europe Awards held at this year’s TradingTech Summit in London on the 27th February. 

This award complements OpenFin’s recent accolades, including: winning ‘Best open source initiative’ at the HFM Technology European Technology Awards 2018; being named ‘FinTech of the Year’ at The TRADE’s Leaders in Trading Awards 2018; winning ‘Best use of the Agile methodology by a technology vendor’ at the Buy-Side Technology Awards 2018; and being included in the The Financial Technologist’s list of ‘The Most Influential FinTechs of 2019’, published earlier this month, for a second year running. 

Organised by A-Team Insight, the TradingTech Insight Europe Awards echo the challenges industry practitioners and suppliers face as they develop solutions for the rapidly changing European marketplace, with winners selected by A-Team Insight’s readers and the TradingTech Summit Advisory Board.

OpenFin won the ‘FinTech Innovation Award’ as a result of driving excellence and innovation in the trading technology sector. Designed specifically for the financial services industry, OpenFin has quickly become the de-facto digital infrastructure provider for capital market firms and the FinTech firms building solutions to support them.

Delivering new and updated applications to end-user desktops has traditionally presented FinTech firms with a number of challenges relating to security, software packaging and legacy infrastructures - culminating in slow, inefficient and complex software deployment processes.

OpenFin OS provides a common platform on which banks, buyside and the FinTech community can collaborate, build and deliver innovative workflow enhancements for end users. As a result, innovative solutions can be brought to market faster, enabling end-users to benefit from new features and functionality at an accelerated rate.

Adam Toms, CEO of OpenFin Europe, said: “I’m thrilled OpenFin has won the award for FinTech innovation. More than 1,000 applications have now been built and deployed on OpenFin OS providing solutions to over 1,500 major banks and buy-side firms. It’s such a privilege to have been chosen by these firms to help drive greater innovation and collaboration on the financial desktop. I’m really proud of the level of industry-wide innovation OpenFin is now enabling - thank you to the whole OpenFin team and our customers for their tireless support for OpenFin OS.”
