Betacarbon - Emerging Australian Fintech 2022
People's Choice Fintech Awards
Congratulations to Guy Dickinson and the Betacarbon team on being crowned People's Choice Emerging Australian Fintech of the Year 2022.
There were a record number of downloads and votes for the competition this year. Betacarbon emerged victorious amongst a very strong group of 8 finalists.
Tier One People CEO, Dexter Cousins presented the emerging Fintech award to Betacarbon CEO and co-founder Guy Dickinson. The award is reflective of the mood and sentiment within the industry at present. Fintech is a force for good and plays a crucial role in solving HUGE problems like climate change.
Held at the Forum in Melbourne, the industry turned out in ball gowns and black ties, WOW what a gorgeous bunch the Australian Fintech industry looked!
It was an extremely well-planned event.
The ceremony was super slick which left the whole night to catch up and enjoy what has been a very long-awaited in-person Fintech awards. 2019 was the last time the industry gathered in person for the event.
The awards across all categories of Fintech were tighter than ever, no company won more than one award. Perhaps most telling about this year's Finnies was the calibre of finalists who didn't win an award.
