Butter Insurance, technology solutions provider Credit Clear, Downsizer, transport industry claims manager FreightSafe, home insurer Honey Insurance, Hollard-backed Open Insurance and uBind are all in the running, as is last year’s winner pay-per-kilometre car insurer Koba Insurance.

“So proud of our team and a big thanks to FinTech Australia, we're super grateful to be included,” Ms Bell said.
