Booster Savvy ups for tech gongs

Booster Savvy double finalist in international Banking Tech Awards.

Sunday, October 20th 2024, 6:23AM

Booster's Savvy debit card is getting international recognition as a finalist in two categories at the Fintech Futures 2024 Banking Tech Awards.

The awards offer global recognition for excellence and innovation in the international financial technology sector.

Savvy is a daily transactional account linked to an investment fund that offers competitive rates of return, with a smart app to track spending and grow savings.

Savvy is a finalist in both the "Best User/Customer Experience Initiative for Consumers" and "Best Use of Tech in Private Banking/Wealth Management" categories. 

Other finalists in these categories include international heavy hitters like J.P. Morgan, Morgan Stanley, Wells Fargo, and Merrill Wealth Management.

Booster’s chief customer officer Diana Papadopoulos says “being recognised alongside big global companies in these awards proves that Savvy is a world-class product.”

“Savvy is a highly innovative, digital account with a Mastercard debit card that earns people a competitive rate of return (currently 4.75%). Savvy can also be used with EFTPOS if people don’t want to use contactless payments or it’s not available.

“Savvy being named a finalist in these two awards, coincides with a lot of focus in New Zealand right now on how much more competition is needed in the financial services sector.

“So, we’re really pleased that Savvy is making its mark here in New Zealand and globally as well,” Papadopoulos says.

The Fintech Futures Banking Tech Awards winners will be announced at a gala dinner in London on December 4.
