ClearBank, Zopa Bank and Cube were among the winners at this year’s Fintech Awards London 2025, an annual celebration of fintech professionals and companies in London and the UK.
The Awards brought the UK fintech community together beneath the iconic Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre at The Underglobe on Wednesday, 18 June, for an evening that combined award presentations with live entertainment that made it easy to celebrate in style.
After attendees were treated to renditions of tunes from The Greatest Showman, all the way to Sweet Caroline, complete with a kick line that spanned the dancefloor, the Fintech Awards London 2025 got into full swing.
The ever-energetic Julia Streets, founder and CEO of Streets Consulting, returned to host this year’s ceremony, which saw credit fintech ClearScore scoop up the award for ‘Fintech Company of the Year’, in recognition for its commitment to improving financial wellbeing by offering free access to credit scores, reports, and open banking data.
“This year’s awards were a high-energy, high-impact celebration of the people and companies making fintech better – for customers, for business, and for society,” explained the Awards founder, Matt Hyde. “We’re proud to shine a light on those reshaping financial services in London and beyond. The warmth, talent and innovation in the room was genuinely inspiring.”
