Emerging Payments Association Asia, EPAA, announced that the digital doors have opened for the anticipated APAC Payments Excellence Awards, showcasing Payments Innovation and Excellence in the Asia Pacific region. This milestone is a major move for EPAA in its mission to influence payments policy evolution, technology innovation and cross-border collaboration to obtain safer, more cost efficient and accessible payments processing throughout the region.

“We’ve been aware of the strong demand for an Asia Pacific specific Payments awards program for several years. The region encompasses a diverse range of markets, and there are countless unique ideas and innovative tech solutions being developed. By showcasing these achievements, we can help expand collaborations and business expansion opportunities throughout the region.,” said Camilla Bullock, CEO at Emerging Payments Association Asia.

The program has been created in collaboration with a Judge Committee Panel, comprised by influential Payments Experts and Thought Leaders in the region, led by Linda Stanojevic, Managing Director for the program and Chief Strategy and Marketing Officer at Emerging Payments Association Asia.

“Making an award submission provides a unique opportunity for companies to become visible, solidify thought leadership positioning, and obtain credibility in the Asia Pacific payments community”,” said Stanojevic, and continues “Your solution, process or innovation will be evaluated by 60+ of the most influential decision-makers in the region – the Judge Committee, delivering a unique opportunity to showcase your solution for expansion and collaborations across the region.”

Submissions can be made into the 12 carefully selected categories, via the APAC Payments Excellence Awards website until mid-May 2023. The categories include Innovative Product, ESG, Process, Solution and Collaboration Awards.

“If you are looking to gain credibility in the Asia Pacific region, this will be one of the most sought-after Payments Award programs to enter, aligning your brand with payments excellence and innovation”, said May Lam, Chief information Officer at Payment Plus, and a member of the Judges Committee.

Finalists and their contributions, in each category, will be announced in August via the EPAA’s, the APAC Payments Excellence Awards, and the Meet-Her She Knows Payments websites and vast Social Media platforms.
