Booster's Savvy gets international recognition

The awards offer global recognition for excellence and innovation in the international fintech sector.

Savvy is a daily transactional account linked to an investment fund that offers competitive rates of return, with a smart app to track spending and grow savings.

Savvy was a finalist in both the Best User/Customer Experience category, as well as a finalist in Best Use of Tech in Private Banking/Wealth Management categories. 

Booster chief customer officer Diana Papadopoulos says the achievement of Savvy on the world stage is significant.

“Savvy is the only New Zealand product represented at the Awards and has been sitting alongside international heavy hitters like J.P. Morgan, Morgan Stanley, Wells Fargo, and Merrill Wealth Management.”

“This demonstrates not only what a great product Savvy is, but how New Zealand can foot it with the biggest FinTech companies in the world.

Savvy is a digital account with a Mastercard debit card that earns people a competitive rate of return (currently 4.25%). Savvy can also be used with EFTPOS if people don’t want to use contactless payments or it’s not available.

“Getting this recognition comes at a time where the FinTech sector in New Zealand is really starting to grow, with a lot of opportunities to increase competition in the financial services sector.
