Emerging Payments Awards entries now extended to May 16!


Good news for those many people asking if we can extend the deadline: you can now submit your entries until May 16 at midday.  But remember that we can’t extend after that, as we’ll then be sending the entries out to the judges.

So if you haven’t already done so, decide which of the categories below are applicable to you, download the Call for Entries brochure at Emerging Payments Awards, read the entry criteria in the brochure and get writing.  You can write an award-winning entry in a couple of hours if you have all the information to hand, so it’s not onerous.  And you can enter as many categories as you like via Enter.   

If you’re struggling with your entry or don’t know what to write, read the How to write a winning entry page in on the site.

Finalists will be announced in July, with winners being revealed and celebrated on 23 October 2014 during our customary lavish ceremony at the Lancaster London.

And good luck.

5^th Annual Prepaid Awards Celebrates Innovation and Best Practice

On Thursday 11^th October 2012, the Lancaster Hotel in London played host to the 5^th Annual Prepaid Awards, celebrating innovation and best practice within the prepaid industry. Over 500 prepaid industry professionals saw winners being presented with awards in 17 different categories, which had been judged by an independent panel of prepaid experts from around the world.

A champagne reception launched the evening where guests networked with the industry's finest, followed by a fabulous dinner enabling sponsors and table hosts to entertain their clients. Guests were entertained by a spectacular laser light show that led into the Awards ceremony, expertly MC-ed by Simon Bucknall from The Heart of Connection. After the ceremony, guests partied to the live band, In The Groove, until the early hours.

The Awards ceremony commenced with a speech from David Hunter, CEO of event sponsor Ukash. On behalf of the judges, Robert Courtneidge explained the integrity of the judging process and how judges worked in isolation of one another so that no one was aware who had judged which category. In addition, no judge could have a vested interest in their assigned category, and results were kept secret until the sponsor announced the winner. Once the 57 finalists had been announced, sponsors of each category presented the winners with their awards, as follows.

The 2012 winners are:
