The Entrepreneur of the Year Awards has been around for some time now and has seen some notable people win it over the years. The award ceremony was created to provide recognition and thanks to entrepreneurs who strive for innovation and are creating life-changing products or services on a global scale. Every year, over 100,000 budding entrepreneurs enter for the chance at gaining the title of Entrepreneur of the Year, and there are also a few who are nominated by experts and other business people who feel that a specific person should be provided this fantastic title.
One such nominee is Andrew Anastasiou, an entrepreneur in the Fintech industry who has been featured in some of the world’s largest online publications such as LatestLY and YahooFinance. Andrew Anastasiou is also behind some of Europe’s most well-known payment platforms and is considered an authority in the field of online payments and banking.
The 31-year-old has been nominated by a variety of his peers and partners in the payments and banking sector, and with this has been shortlisted for the title of Entrepreneur of the Year. Andrew Anastasiou is currently in the process of bringing digital banking to over 250 million people in Africa who otherwise have no way of making online payments. With LyncPay, the entrepreneur’s cash-to-voucher system, a huge sway of individuals with no access to banking or credit will be able to make online payments for utilities without the need to continuously carry cash and stand in queues at their local authority center to pay bills.
The date for the final announcement of the winner of the next Entrepreneur of the Year Award isn’t going to be until April 2021, but it is unlikely that there will be a significant change in the finalists unless another unicorn product comes up before the February 2021 deadline for entries.
