The 4th Bangladesh Fintech Award 2026, an initiative of Bangladesh Fintech Forum and organized by Bangladesh Brand Forum, has officially opened its call for nominations.
Returning for its fourth edition, the Bangladesh Fintech Award aims to recognize organizations and initiatives contributing to a more inclusive, modern, and digitally enabled financial ecosystem in Bangladesh. The award platform celebrates innovations that respond to evolving consumer behavior, strengthen financial technology, and help bridge the gap between physical and digital financial services.
As Bangladesh’s financial landscape continues to evolve, organizations across banking, insurance, payments, mobile financial services, technology, and emerging financial solutions are increasingly using technology to improve accessibility, efficiency, and customer experience. The Bangladesh Fintech Award 2026 seeks to spotlight these efforts and recognize solutions creating meaningful impact across the financial ecosystem.
Nominations are now open across 11 categories, representing key areas of Bangladesh’s fintech industry. Organizations may submit multiple entries across different categories, while the same initiative may also be submitted under more than one relevant category as separate entries.
The Call for Nominations begins on August 30, 2026, with the Nomination Submission Deadline set for September 17, 2026.
All nominations must be submitted through the designated online platform along with the required supporting materials. Submissions should include the prescribed PowerPoint presentation, up to three high-resolution images, an initiative AV of no more than two minutes, a signed and sealed NOC, and relevant evidence supporting the impact claimed in the submission.
The submission fee is BDT 15,000 plus 15% VAT per entry. All entries will be evaluated according to the criteria established by the award authority, and the Jury Panels’ decisions will be final.
Innovations that received an award at the Bangladesh Fintech Award 2025 are not eligible to be submitted again in 2026.
