Wallester Wins Big at Europe Fintech Awards and PayTech Awards 2025

We’re thrilled to share some exciting news: Wallester has won three major industry awards in recent weeks, further solidifying our position as a frontrunner in European fintech innovation.

At this year’s Europe Fintech Awards, Wallester was honoured with not one but two titles – Fintech of the Year and the Fintech Partner Award. These awards celebrate not just our rapid growth but also the strength of our technology and the collaborative spirit that drives everything we do.

Recognised as one of the sector’s leading gatherings, the Europe Fintech Awards highlight companies shaping the future of financial technology across the continent. Our double win reflects the impact of Wallester’s proprietary infrastructure, flexible white-label solutions, and the growing success of our business expense platform.

Here’s what the judges said about Wallester:

Fintech Partner Award

The judges chose this entry because the company is dedicated to working closely together with partners, building products and services using a co-creation method. This allows the company to both create and scale products quickly, meaning customers and users alike are best served.

Fintech of the Year

The judges were impressed by the numbers and growth shown by this company. They operate in multiple countries, giving really good coverage for their service. In a very competitive landscape, the judges said it’s unbelievable that they’ve been able to achieve this level of growth.

But that’s not all.

At the 2025 PayTech Awards in London, Wallester Business received the title of Best Spend Management System, a significant win in a competitive category filled with global players and ambitious newcomers. This award recognises our unwavering commitment to delivering tangible value to clients through seamless payment automation, robust integrations, and scalable financial solutions.

“These awards reflect the consistent focus we’ve placed on solving real problems for businesses. They’re also a credit to the teams behind the scenes, whose work drives the innovation our partners and clients rely on.”

Julian Brand, CEO of Wallester UK

“We didn’t build Wallester to chase awards — we built it to challenge outdated systems and empower companies with smarter tools. But recognition like this shows we’re on the right path. It’s a proud moment for our entire team.”

Sergei Astafjev, CEO and Co-founder of Wallester

As we continue to grow in 2025, Wallester remains committed to building future-ready solutions for businesses, financial institutions, and embedded finance providers across Europe. Whether through our white-label issuing platform or our ready-to-use business card solution, we’re redefining what modern payment infrastructure can deliver.

Thank you to our clients, partners, and team for being part of the journey, We’re just getting started.
