“Fintechs that cater to small businesses are continuously adapting and innovating to provide above and beyond products, services, and protections to their customers. This year, we’ve seen how both banks and lenders that cater to small businesses have upgraded their offerings — from substantial increases of FDIC insurance to launching apps that contain tools and resources to empower small business owners. Congratulations to the winners and highly commended providers of this year’s Small Business Innovation Awards.”

Methodology:
The shortlist of finalists in each category was selected by Finder’s subject-matter experts, who identified the providers they felt displayed key innovations in their field.

This shortlist was then passed to an expert judging panel, who decided the winning and highly commended companies by assessing the finalists across three different criteria: uniqueness of innovation, impact in the market and value to customers.
