FinTech company scoops innovation awards

Mint Payments is proud to be recognised as it made a successful transition from a singular solution payment provider to a leading omnichannel payments provider in Australia.

Wage-processing technology provider Mint Payments bagged two major awards in the past week, having been named as an ABA100 Winner in The Australian Business Awards 2016 for Business Innovation and ranking at number 42 in the Australian Financial Review’s Top 50 Most Innovative Companies in Australia.

The Australian Business Awards recognise organisations that prioritise innovation and technology as drivers of local and international markets. ABA100 Winners demonstrate a commitment to technologically transformative innovation through business initiatives and position themselves as industry leaders.

On its fifth year, the AFR Top 50 Most Innovative Companies in Australia ranks the most innovative organisations in Australia. It is the only national, cross-industry list of its kind. A panel of experts rates a company’s innovations based on the idea, the problem and the impact.

The Australian Business Award winners were announced on 12 August, with the AFR list published this week.

Mint Payments’ CEO Mr Alex Teoh said: “Mint Payments is proud to be recognised by these two different organisations as a leader in Australian innovation. It is a testament to our successful transition from a singular solution payment provider to a leading omnichannel payments provider in Australia where we can give businesses the ability to accept, see and reconcile payments across in-store, online or mobile channels.”

He added: “Our transformation has made it possible and simple for business owners to capture and process all types of payments, including credit card, debit card and bank transfer, regardless of whether they have a bricks and mortar shop, an online e-store or if they run a mobile business. Everything comes together in one single platform, one partner and one system, which very few payment vendors in Australia can do.”

“We have developed a world-class payments platform that seamlessly connects and processes payments across multiple channels and markets across the Asia Pacific so we are delighted to be recognised as a business innovator in the payments industry and this would not be possible without the support of our partners and a great team at Mint,” he concluded.
