The BIAN Transformation Award aims to celebrate innovative solutions and implementations, including systems, development methods, architectural approaches, and mobile solutions, that are based on BIAN’s standards. These solutions and products will show the value-add for organizations and highlight how they can transform the industry as we know it.
Digital transformation is critical for the future of banking, and our aim is to raise awareness of how BIAN can be used and implemented to support this goal. The BIAN Transformation Award will highlight how organizations within the banking and FinTech space use BIAN to accelerate change and drive innovation.
The BIAN Transformation Award is open to any organization that has used BIAN’s standards to achieve extraordinary results over the last two years.
