Joshua Bower-Saul, the CEO and Co-Founder of Cybertonica said:

“We would like to thank EWPN 2019 Awards judges for giving us the exciting chance to be recognised as FinTech Start-up of the Year! It is my privilege as the CEO and Co-Founder with our CTO Sergey Velts, to be working alongside the entire Cybertonica team that helped us to reach the shortlist, including two of our key team members Melike Belli and Ekaterina Safonova. We are honoured to see them shortlisted in 2 categories as industry role models and hope that our commitment to parity in the FinTech world will benefit from this distinction so we can attract more women to our team in the near future!”

Ekaterina Safonova, Director of Partnerships and Training at Cybertonica, also commented:

“It’s such a great honour to be shortlisted for EWPN FinTech/Payments Leader Award among top experts in the field, best wishes and sincere congratulations to all of them! The past 2 years working for Cybertonica was dynamic and challenging for me – creating a payment fraud prevention course, investigating payment/fraud landscape and developing new ways to offer one-click fraud-free experience for good customers, writing the chapter for The PayTech Book and graduating from Said Business School FinTech course to understand new payment and fraud trends. I’m grateful that my efforts were appreciated by FinTech/Payments community and I’ll do my best sharing my knowledge and experience in the future to add my value into developing new safe payment ecosystem.”

Melike Belli, Market Development Manager at Cybertonica said:

“I’m excited and humbled to be shortlisted for the Young Innovator Award alongside with extremely talented women in FinTech. It’s also wonderful to see Cybertonica’s success and commitment to diversity is recognised as a finalist for FinTech Start-up of the Year Award and my colleague Ekaterina Safonova’s nomination for the FinTech/Payments Leader Award. Massive thanks to the judges, EWPN Founder Martha Mghendi-Fisher and all my colleagues at EWPN including Nadja van der Veer for their huge encouragement, creating valuable opportunities for women and championing diversity. I would like to congratulate all companies and individuals shortlisted and look forward to celebrating diversity and inclusion together on June 4th in Amsterdam!”
