For almost a decade, we have been connecting brands and professionals in the online trading and fintech space through our events and marketing services, which has always been our ultimate goal. Over the years we have hosted 15+ shows and connected 35,000+ attendees on a global scale. Now, the Ultimate Fintech Awards will provide the online trading industry with a benchmark of the highest level, as customers and traders will participate in deciding the best brokers of 2021 through a public voting system.
The awards will be running from February until June 2021 with various stages leading up to the announcement of the winners. With benefits for both brokers and traders, the main aim is to determine leading market participants that are spearheading groundbreaking achievements, innovation and progressive contribution in various areas of the online trading space.
The results will provide traders with a precise standard of brokers, with multiple award categories highlighting specific benefits, whether it’s who has the best education tools, or trading conditions and forex spreads. On the other hand, brokers will have the opportunity to get a prestigious industry title, solidifying their brand image and trust among a highly targeted industry audience.
Award Categories

All award categories and their descriptions are available here. The awards are designed to recognise the achievements of brokers on multiple levels, with categories arranged into Global Awards, Regional Awards and Country Awards. As the name suggests, global awards will determine the winners on a global scale, while regional and country awards will go into more specific categories. We took care to provide the categories in a way that will allow the Ultimate Fintech Awards to really drill down into specific and most outstanding talents - from rising stars to established giants, those with areas of expertise like customer service or trading platforms, and those that stand out in certain regions or countries.
So how does it work?
Nominations are now open and you can head over to the Ultimate Fintech website to participate and find out more.
