Luup wins Leaders in Innovation Award

LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Luup has been announced as the winner of the Financial-i Leaders in Innovation Award for ‘Most Innovative New Mobile Corporate Banking’. This confirms Luup’s mobile payment offerings are at the forefront of innovative financial solutions today. The award is even more significant as entries are nominated and judged by independent market experts rather than relying on self-nomination.

“Winning this prestigious award clearly shows that independent experts recognise Luup as a market leader and a pioneer in mobile technology.”

“The Leaders in Innovation awards recognise companies that demonstrate an ongoing commitment and investment in innovation, which positively impacts end users. Luup exemplifies this,” explained Anita Hawser, editor of Financial-i. “The panel was particularly impressed with Luup’s recently launched universal payment platform and how instrumental the company is in bringing game changing mobile solutions to the market, be it in the corporate, retail or remittances segment.”

Luup’s universal mobile payment platform heralds a major shift in the mobile payment sector. It enables anyone to make and receive payments, anywhere in the world, with any mobile device, using a single platform that is easy to integrate with no barriers to adoption.

For many months Financial-i journalists and a panel of independent experts, including analysts, had been compiling first a shortlist and then the outright winners of the annual Leaders in Innovation Awards. From that research they chose companies like Luup that are highly innovative, flexible and think outside the box.

“Our universal payment platform and corporate solutions are unrivalled assets and we are successfully expanding globally with an offering that delivers bottom line benefits to our clients,” said Luup CEO, Martin Wilson. “Winning this prestigious award clearly shows that independent experts recognise Luup as a market leader and a pioneer in mobile technology.”
