i2c Inc., a global financial technology innovator, it has been shortlisted in two categories for the 2026 Banking Tech Awards USA, FinTech Futures’ annual awards program recognizing excellence and innovation across banking and financial technology.
i2c was named a finalist in the Visionary Founder category for Founder and CEO Amir Wain, as well as the Tech Team of the Year – Software & Services Provider category for the i2c Client Engagement and Implementation Team. The shortlist recognition highlights both i2c’s continued innovation in next-gen banking and payments and the leadership behind the company’s long-term growth and industry impact.
Under Amir Wain’s leadership, i2c has built one of the industry’s most configurable banking and unified payments platforms. i2c’s single-platform architecture – supporting issuer processing, core banking, and money movement in a unified environment – enables financial institutions and fintechs to launch and scale differentiated banking and payments solutions on one technology stack. Unlike legacy providers built through acquisitions and fragmented systems, i2c’s platform was architected from the ground up more than 25 years ago to deliver flexibility, real-time configurability, and global scalability.
The Visionary Founder category recognizes leaders driving meaningful transformation across financial services through innovation, strategy, and long-term market impact. Wain was shortlisted alongside leaders from across the global fintech ecosystem for his role in building i2c into a trusted technology partner powering financial experiences in more than 216 countries and territories worldwide.
The recognition for Tech Team of the Year honors the i2c Client Engagement and Implementation Team for its role in helping clients successfully launch and scale complex banking and payments programs across global markets. The team was recognized for delivering high-touch implementation support, operational excellence, and strategic partnership capabilities that help clients accelerate speed-to-market while navigating increasingly complex regulatory and technology environments.
“This recognition is a testament to the extraordinary talent, relentless dedication, and bold innovation that define our teams,” said Candace Davies, Chief Marketing Officer at i2c. “From day one, we’ve believed that next‑generation financial services demand a next‑generation technology foundation—one that’s flexible, scalable, and continuously evolving to meet the market and our clients’ ambitions. Being honored by the Banking Tech Awards USA alongside so many influential leaders shaping the future of financial services is both humbling and inspiring.”
