American Banker is starting an Innovators of the Year program for 2023 to honor technology innovators at financial institutions and fintech firms. This expands on our Digital Banker of the Year awards, which we have recognized for the past decade.

Those who earn a spot on the 2023 list will be recognized during our annual Digital Banking Conference, which will be held June 12-14 at The Boca Raton in Boca Raton, Florida.

Eligibility

We will consider people who work at a bank, financial institution or financial technology company that is based in the United States who have led an innovative technology project in the past 12 months.

The applications will be read by a selection committee of American Banker staff members. Judges will consider qualities such as leadership, teamwork and personal initiative, demonstrated through action, as well as the innovative aspects of the project the person spearheaded.

All information provided, excluding personal contact information, may be used for publication.
