Moneyhub, the market-leading Open Finance data, intelligence and payments platform, has won a bevy of awards in recognition of its innovative spirit and outstanding contribution to the industry.
The company was voted the Best Open Finance Innovation by a panel of industry experts at the Open Banking Expo Awards; they also secured Best Open Banking Partnership in the Consumer section with global consulting firm, Mercer for their Financial Wellness proposition in the workplace, savings and investments sector; and Moneyhub went on to win Pensions Tech of the Year and Wealth Tech of the Year at the UK FinTech Awards.
Samantha Seaton, Moneyhub CEO, has won three prestigious accolades: UK FinTech Awards’ Director of The Year, Open Banking Expo’s Open Banking Pioneer and the Personality of The Year Award at the Pensions Age Awards. Samantha was praised for her leadership in Open Banking and for championing financial wellness, diversity and inclusion.
The sweep of industry awards is recognition for Moneyhub’s pioneering work in pushing the boundaries for the consumer with Open Finance in new territories, such as pensions and wealth management, and for the tireless dedication of its employees and management team during a period of extreme pressure and uncertainty for everyone in the world.
Moneyhub has already established a market-leading enterprise product that counts Mercer, Aon, Nationwide, Standard Life and Hometrack among its clients, and also has many partnerships in the start-up community with the likes of OpenMoney, Lumio, OneBanks and Sugi to name just a few, driving consumer centric propositions every step of the way. The company also opened a new office in the European Union and played a key role in launching the world’s first Open Banking-powered QR code payments with Gift Aid to support charities last year.
Moneyhub also secured $18 million in its largest investment funding round to date in which Sir Peter Wood, founder of the technology-based insurance disruptors Direct Line and Esure, was the lead investor. The new funds will allow the market-leading fintech to accelerate its already rapid growth in new markets, including in Europe, and across a broader set of industry sectors from insurance to retail, using its state of the art Open Finance platform.
Samantha Seaton, CEO Moneyhub said: “Our Open Finance platform is turbocharging our clients' digital propositions and driving highly personalised transformational customer experiences to help an ever increasing number of people reach financial wellness sooner. To have our efforts recognised by the wider industry in this way is incredibly rewarding.
I am also personally humbled by the awards I have received and consider it an important part of my own mission to help build a financial system in which no one is excluded and where the field of financial wellness is open to everyone.”
