Radnor Tech Leader Named Finalists In Fintech Futures Banking

RADNOR, PA — BM Technologies, Inc., one of the largest digital banking platforms and Banking-as-a-Service providers, announced that Luvleen Sidhu is a finalist in the Women in Technology category for the Fintech Futures Banking Tech Awards.

Sidhu is the chairwoman and founder of BM Technologies, a company that is publicly traded with 300 employees and an annual revenue of $94.6 million in 2021.

"It is an honor to be included among this group of inspirational technology leaders as a finalist,” said Sidhu,

Winners will be announced at the gala dinner ceremony on Dec. 1 at the Royal Lancaster Hotel in London.

Now in its 23rd year, the banking tech awards are the hallmark of excellence for companies and individuals in banking and fintech.

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.

Sidhu, the daughter of Jay Sidhu, a banking executive, developed a desire to work in the finance industry and create something new and different.

Sidhu earned a bachelor’s degree in government from Harvard University in 2008 and her MBA from Wharton School of Business in 2013.

When Sidhu has free time, she enjoys being a health and wellness coach, traveler, and lover of life. She is also passionate about making a difference.

The honor

An independent panel of judges in the financial services industry from organizations including IBM, Morgan Stanley, Green Dot, the New York Stock Exchange, EY, Bank of America, and the University of Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance chose Sidhu as a finalist.

Other companies and organizations represented as finalists in this category include FIS, Numerix, OpenFin, Inc., and more.

In addition to making banking more accessible, Sidhu was a trailblazer in the industry when she shifted the company’s direction to a B2B2C approach, and started implementing BMTX’s award-winning BaaS model.

BMTX was a first-mover in the BaaS space before it became the industry buzzword it is today.

The Women in Technology award is a prized acknowledgement of the demonstrated skills, leadership, vision, inspiration, and dedication to the industry’s betterment.

It lauds an outstanding woman for her distinguished leadership, inspiring work in her organization, and her positive impact on the wider banking/financial services industry.

Launched in 2015, BMTX is one of America's largest digital financial services platforms, with approximately two million accounts.
