“We are honored to be recognized across such diverse and notable categories at this year’s Banking Tech Awards,” said Amir Wain, CEO of i2c Inc. “These accolades underscore our commitment to delivering best-in-class, innovative, and secure solutions that empower our clients to thrive in an increasingly digital financial landscape.

It enables us to scale faster, serve clients more effectively, and deliver modern payment experiences that rival even the largest players in the industry.”
