Who won the 2016 awards?
The award winners were announced and presented at the Awards Gala Dinner on 8th September 2016 at Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel Singapore.
The CEPI awards are regarded as the most credible in the industry, voted by the industry, for the industry.
Ruben Kempeneer, Asia Regional Director for Timetric, said “The quality of submissions we received for the 2016 CEPI Asia Awards is both impressive and encouraging. All the award nominees for CEPI demonstrate that Asia’s cards and payments markets are maturing, and banks and vendors are responding through innovations driven by current trends such as the shift to mobile and e-channels in the retail payments space.”
The CEPI Awards are based on a rigorous selection process which starts with nominations from industry professionals. The entries then undergo a shortlisting process by the editorial board, based on quality and innovativeness, and corroborated information from executive interviews and facts from peers and industry experts are considered. The shortlisted entries are then subjected to final deliberations by the CEPI Asia Awards judging panel and rated individually, with the winner determined by the aggregated scores from the judges.
