RADNOR, PA / ACCESSWIRE / September 14, 2022 / BM Technologies, Inc. (NYSE American:BMTX), one of the largest digital banking platforms and Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS) providers, announced that Luvleen Sidhu, Chair, CEO, and Founder, was selected as a finalist in the Director of the Year category for the US Fintech Awards 2022. Now in its second year, the US Fintech Awards recognizes the achievements and success of America's FinTech leaders and is a benchmark by which financial services modernization and technological progress are judged.

Sidhu was selected by an independent panel of experts in the financial services industry from organizations such as the Financial Technology Association, NYC FinTech Women, InsurTech New York, and more. Other companies and organizations represented as 2022 finalists in this category include the Fintech Open Source Foundation (FINOS), Fundbox, Tresl, and Octane.

As a woman in a male-dominated industry, Sidhu was the youngest female to ever take a company public at the time of its listing, and BM Technologies (BMTX) is one of the first publicly traded neobanking fintechs. She aspires to help Americans achieve financial stability, engaging the millions of unbanked and underbanked individuals in the U.S. Many of these people are locked out of the system by monthly fee requirements and have an inherent skepticism of traditional banks. By offering a low-fee, digital banking platform focused on technology and financial empowerment, BMTX aims to provide an alternative.

"I am honored to be a finalist amongst industry leaders for the US Fintech Awards," said Luvleen Sidhu, Chair, CEO, and Founder of BMTX. "This has been a pivotal year for BMTX. We recently announced that we signed a contract with a significant new BaaS partner, and we are looking forward to completing our merger with First Sound Bank to become a true fintech bank. I am looking forward to what is to come for the remainder of 2022 and as we lead into 2023."

Finalists were selected based on their leadership abilities and contribution to their organization's growth, dedication to clients, how they contribute to the development and welfare of their staff, and their reputation and broader impact in the fintech sector.

Winners will be announced during a live streaming awards ceremony at 4 p.m. ET on Sept. 15th. To register for the awards ceremony, please visit User Registration - US FinTech Awards.
