(BMTX), has announced that Chair, CEO, and Founder, Luvleen Sidhu is a finalist in the EY the Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2022 Greater Philadelphia programme. Entrepreneur Of The Year® recognizes the most ambitious leaders who are building and sustaining successful, dynamic businesses around the world. Winners of this award comprise a global network of like-minded visionaries, each on a transformational journey to create, innovate, grow, learn, and build a better world.
Sidhu was selected by a panel of independent judges made up of a diverse group of leaders and experts in the financial services industry from companies such as Berwind, Spirovant, Suvoda, and Misfits Market, to name a few. 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. She is actively focused on actions that can help propel women in finance—such as promoting women in leadership roles, creating mentorship opportunities, providing equal pay, and ensuring female voices are represented at the executive leadership level.
“It is an honor to be a finalist for EY Entrepreneur Of The Year®. This past year has been pivotal for BMTX as we were one of the first neo banking fintechs to go public last year, are one of the first to have a profitable business model and are now among the first fintechs embracing a bank charter to create an innovative fintech bank for the future,” said Chair, CEO, and Founder of BMTX, Luvleen Sidhu. “My mission is to empower entrepreneurs to positively impact the fintech and banking industries and bring innovation and financial inclusion to the market. I am honored to be recognized among such inspirational and mission driven individuals as a finalist.”
The group of independent judges selected finalists on demonstration of long-term value through entrepreneurial spirit, purpose, growth, impact, and other core contributions and attributes. Sidhu’s selection as a finalist symbolizes her dedication, drive, and innovation in the Banking as-a-Service (BaaS) and overall fintech sector. This award further validates her exceptional leadership and the continued advancements demonstrated by BMTX as one of the first publicly traded neo banking fintechs in the country.
The Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2022 Greater Philadelphia Award ceremony will take place at the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts on June 23, 2022. Regional award winners will be announced the same day.
