We’re delighted to share that NayaOne has been included in Datos Insights’ Fintech 50: Vendors Supporting the Top Trends in Commercial Banking and Payments. This recognition is more than a milestone for us - it’s a reflection of how the industry is changing. Across commercial banking and payments, there is a growing acknowledgement that good ideas are not enough on their own. What matters is how quickly and responsibly they can be turned into reality.
Why This Matters
The Fintech 50 highlights vendors that are not only innovating, but helping banks and payments providers overcome the structural challenges that have historically slowed delivery. Across the sector, three patterns stand out:
- Time to market is under pressure. Banks can no longer afford 12 – 18 month cycles to validate new technology. The market, customers, and regulators are moving too quickly.
- Governance cannot be an afterthought. Every innovation - whether AI, fraud prevention, or payments modernisation - must be tested in ways that satisfy regulatory, data privacy, and operational risk requirements from the very beginning.
- Execution is the real differentiator. The question is not whether a capability exists, but whether it can be safely delivered into production and scaled.
Recognition in this report signals that the industry is starting to value the infrastructure and approaches that make this possible. It is a sign that execution, governance, and delivery are moving from the sidelines to the centre of the innovation conversation.
The Bigger Picture
Projects in areas like AI copilots, fraud detection, and payments tools often begin with strong intent, yet run into barriers around vendor onboarding, data access, or compliance approvals. These friction points are not unique to one bank - they are systemic across the industry. By drawing attention to vendors that help address these issues, the Fintech 50 helps reframe innovation around what really matters: not just ideas, but outcomes.
Looking Forward
We are grateful to Datos Insights for highlighting this shift, and to our clients and partners who continue to demonstrate what can be achieved when ambition is matched with the right structures.
The challenges are significant, but so too are the opportunities. If we can reduce the friction between concept and delivery, the entire sector stands to benefit - with faster innovation, stronger resilience, and better outcomes for customers.
We look forward to continuing this journey - building momentum, together.
If you’re exploring how to accelerate delivery while maintaining governance, we’d be glad to share what we’re learning. Get in touch.
