Eligibility and rules

Eligibility: PayTech Awards USA welcomes submissions from banks/financial institutions, payment institutions, fintechs, paytechs, technology and services providers with nominated projects, products, services, individuals, and teams. Nominations are open to organizations based anywhere in the world as long as the project, individual or team is located in the United States. Projects must be recent (within the last two years) and be largely completed – the results and benefits must be tangible and measurable.

Word limit: The main entry should not exceed 1,200 words and must encompass all necessary information for your awards entry.

Supporting materials: When filing your online submission, please upload organisational logos. For the team/individual awards, please provide headshots and team images. Marketing, sales, and promotional materials are not accepted.

Multiple Entries: You may apply for multiple awards for the same project/product/team/person, ensuring each entry is tailored to its specific category.

Confidentiality: Information provided in the main entry is confidential and treated as such by the PayTech Awards USA team and judges. All entries are only shared with judges once a signed disclaimer has been received.

Publication: Names of shortlisted, highly commended, and winning entries will be publicly announced on the awards website and relevant platforms.
