The Open Banking Expo Awards 2025, in partnership with Raidiam, is inviting the industry to, once again, celebrate the brightest minds and boldest ideas driving progress in Open Banking and beyond.
Open Banking Expo is pleased to announce that it is inviting organisations and individuals to inform us of your intention to enter this year’s Awards.
Taking place on 21 October at the Business Design Centre in London, the Awards ceremony will close Day One of Open Banking Expo UK & Europe 2025, bringing together leaders from across Open Banking, Open Finance, and payments to recognise excellence in innovation, collaboration, and impact.
Organisations are invited to showcase their achievements — and those who signal their intent early can unlock 25% off the entry fee.

In addition, organisations that have partnered with Open Banking Expo in the past 12 months can get complimentary entries, if you complete the intention to enter form.
Co-Founder and Operations Director of Open Banking Expo, Kelly Stanley, emphasised the impact of the Awards on the ecosystem: “Every entry tells a story of progress – and these Awards are about recognising the trailblazers shaping the future of finance.”
Now in its fifth year, the Awards have become a highlight of the Open Banking and Open Finance calendar, attracting submissions from banks, fintechs, payments innovators, tech providers, and ecosystem enablers.
Key dates to keep in mind:
- 19 June – Early entry deadline (£249 + VAT per entry)
- 24 July – Final deadline (£349 + VAT per entry)
It’s important to note that the intention-to-enter form isn’t a commitment — it simply unlocks your discount and gives you until the final deadline to submit.
With a broad range of categories, covering everything from Open Banking for Good, Best Customer Experience and Best Use of Data, to Best Industry Partnership and the Women in Open Banking categories, the 2025 Awards ceremony promises to be the most thrilling yet.
