Cymonz has been shortlisted for the 'Best Innovation in Payments (including Remittance/FX)' award at the 2026 Finnies, presented by FinTech Australia. The nomination reflects the work our team has put into building infrastructure that doesn't just process payments — it changes what's possible for the financial institutions and communities that rely on them. The awards ceremony takes place in June.
What this nomination means
The Finnies are one of Australia's most respected benchmarks for fintech innovation. Being shortlisted in the payments category — which encompasses the full breadth of remittance, FX and cross-border infrastructure — reflects the depth and scale of what Cymonz has built over more than a decade.
We have spent years working in the world's most demanding corridors: the Pacific Islands, Africa, and across Asia. The infrastructure we've built had to work in environments where failure has real consequences for real families. That's shaped everything about how we build.
Bridging legacy banking with the future of open finance
The nomination recognises our work powering the underlying infrastructure that bridges legacy banking with the future of open finance — enabling financial institutions to deliver real-time, automated FX solutions and seamless global connectivity at scale.
That's not a marketing phrase. It's the actual problem we solve. Banks, fintechs and remitters are sitting on legacy infrastructure that can't deliver what their customers increasingly expect. Cymonz gives them a way forward that doesn't require them to tear everything down first.
"Cymonz is proud to enable financial institutions globally. Our focus is on delivering scalable, real-time FX infrastructure that simplifies cross-border payments and strengthens global connectivity. Social impact is core to that mission, exemplified by our work in the Pacific Islands. By automating complex FX processes and embedding robust, auditable compliance, we help link remitters, their families, and the banks that serve them — reducing costs, increasing transparency, and expanding access to trusted financial services."
Simon Lynch, CEO & Founder
The awards ceremony
We're proud to be competing alongside some of Australia's best fintech innovators. The 2026 Finnies will be held in June — we'll be there with the team and the clients who have been part of this journey. Whatever the result, being recognised as a finalist in this category reflects more than a decade of work that we're genuinely proud of.
