NayaPay Wins Fintech Start-Up Award at Asian Banking Finance Awards 2026

NayaPay has received the Fintech Start-Up award at the Asian Banking & Finance Awards 2026, marking a notable recognition for the Pakistan-based fintech company. The award recognizes NayaPay’s work in the financial technology sector and comes as the company continues to expand its digital financial services. NayaPay described the recognition as a significant milestone and said it was particularly meaningful as the company represents Pakistan on an international platform.

The company credited its users and wider community for playing a role in its journey, thanking customers who have trusted the platform with their money, provided feedback, reported technical issues and recommended the service to others. NayaPay said the award belongs to its users as much as it does to the company, highlighting the role of customer engagement in the development of its digital financial services. The recognition also reflects the growing presence of Pakistani fintech companies in regional financial technology discussions and industry award programs.

NayaPay has also highlighted its continued expansion beyond its existing consumer-focused financial services with the launch of NayaPay Business in beta. The business offering is intended to extend the company’s digital financial ecosystem toward business users, with the beta launch giving customers an opportunity to access the new service as NayaPay continues developing its features and capabilities. The company indicated that additional developments are expected as it continues to build out its product offering.

The award comes at a time when fintech companies in Pakistan are increasingly developing digital alternatives for payments, banking and other financial services. NayaPay has been part of this evolving ecosystem, using technology to provide financial products through digital channels. Recognition at an international banking and finance awards program provides visibility for the company as it continues to develop its platform and introduce new services for individuals and businesses.

With the Fintech Start-Up award now added to its achievements, NayaPay said it remains focused on raising the standard for its products and services. The company’s latest update combines the international recognition with the beta availability of NayaPay Business, indicating that its expansion is continuing beyond its existing offerings. The company said more developments are on the way as it builds on the momentum generated by the award and continues growing its presence in Pakistan’s fintech sector.
