Zepto at the 2021 Finnies Awards

The Finnies recognise and reward the Australian FinTech community by honouring innovation, growth and collaboration–and there was plenty of that across the board this year. The Australian FinTech scene is really humming.

We were thrilled, too, to be finalists in a pair of categories:

• Excellence in Payments
• Best Partnership of the Year 

We owe massive thanks to the team from Superhero who put together the brilliant Best Partnership of the Year submission.

We were also delighted to see our Chief Commercial Officer, Carolyn Breeze, make the final shortlists in both the Female FinTech Leader of the Year, and Outstanding FinTech Leader of the Year categories for her work at GoCardless before joining Zepto–justfied recognition for a brilliant industry leader.

So, how did we fare?

Excellence in Payments

Sadly, on this occasion, we were pipped at the Finnies post by the Zip juggernaut who we congratulate wholeheartedly. It goes without saying that we’re a little disappointed with the result. Still, we’re chuffed to be recognised alongside an incredible home-grown, global success story like Zip.

The Excellence in Payments category was hotly contested this year, and we were thrilled to be nominated alongside an impressive cohort of finalists. 2021 has been an exciting year for us at Zepto as we have hit a number of milestones, and being recognised as a Finnies finalist would not have been possible without the support of our customers and the unbelievable commitment from our team at Zepto. Thanks to FinTech Australia, and congrats to all of the finalists and winners from all of us at Zepto.

Best Partnership of the Year

It wasn’t our year, but we’re still over the moon about being shortlisted alongside some brilliant collaborations and partnerships. 

We're so grateful to the Superhero team for nominating our collaboration for Fintech Australia’s ‘Best Partnership of the Year’. Even though we came up short this year, we're extremely proud of the partnership and the continued success both Superhero and Zepto have achieved in-market. There were some brilliant entries this year, indicative of the wonderful partnerships being created across the Australian FinTech landscape.

We’re passionate about contributing to Australia’s vibrant FinTech sector in our unwavering pursuit to level the paying field for merchants. The local FinTech community is booming, and we just love being part of it.

Over at Superhero, CEO and Co-Founder, John Winters said, “We're proud of our work with Zepto and were delighted to nominate our collaboration in the Best Partnership of the Year category at The Finnies. Being a finalist in the category is a huge accomplishment and a testament to the importance of our work together in providing top notch experiences to our customers as well as helping drive our growth over the year,” said Superhero.

We’re super proud of it too.
