For the 1st Week of November 2026, GFM Review's judging panel is proud to award the following institutions:

Rahimafrooz Globatt Limited

Best Trade Finance Deal Asia 2026

Rahimafrooz Globatt Limited is part of Bangladesh-based Rahimafrooz, a group whose businesses include battery manufacturing and energy-related products. The company’s supplied profile reports exports to more than 75 countries and lists quality, environmental, occupational health and safety, laboratory, inspection and packaging-related standards. Its credentials also include National Export Trophies for 2001–2002 and 2018–2019, the Ashden Award for Sustainable Energy in 2006, and national environment and green business awards in 2014. These records point to an export-oriented manufacturer operating within a framework of formal quality and environmental standards. The Best Trade Finance Deal Asia 2026 award connects the company to the financing dimension of cross-border commerce: trade finance supports the movement of goods between suppliers and overseas markets. In this context, the award is relevant to Globatt’s reported international reach and its role in a manufacturing business serving export markets. The company’s stated certifications and prior export recognition provide additional context for assessing its international operations.

ALGOGENE FINANCIAL TECHNOLOGY COMPANY LIMITED

Best FinTech Research & Development Asia 2026

ALGOGENE Financial Technology Company Limited develops technology for algorithmic trading and quantitative investment research. Its platform is designed to support the development, testing and deployment of systematic trading strategies, bringing research and implementation workflows together for users working with financial market data. The company’s focus is on tools that make quantitative methods more accessible and help traders and researchers evaluate strategy performance before putting approaches into practice. The Best FinTech Research & Development Asia 2026 recognition highlights the relevance of this work in a sector where data, software and disciplined testing increasingly shape financial services. The award also places attention on research and development as a core part of the company’s contribution, rather than treating fintech solely as a distribution channel. ALGOGENE’s role is therefore centered on building and maintaining practical software for strategy research and trading, serving users who seek a structured, technology-based approach to financial markets.

BYDFi Fintech LTD

Best Crypto Trading Platform International 2026

BYDFi is a cryptocurrency trading platform founded in 2020. Its services include spot trading, perpetual futures, copy trading and automated trading bots, alongside access to traditional financial assets and a crypto debit card. The company says it serves users in more than 190 countries and regions and offers tools for both newer and experienced traders. It also identifies Proof of Reserves as part of its approach to asset transparency and names Newcastle United as an official crypto exchange partner. The nominations for Best Crypto Trading Platform International 2026 and Best Crypto Trading Platform 2026 place BYDFi in the context of international trading services and platform capability. Relevant considerations include the range of trading products, the availability of automated and copy-trading features, and the provision of services across multiple markets. These award categories recognize the role of product breadth, accessibility and operational transparency in digital asset trading. BYDFi’s stated international reach and mix of spot, derivatives and supporting tools provide the basis for assessing its fit with the categories, while service quality and the reliability of its platform remain important measures for evaluation.

PRLab B.V.

Agency of the Year North America 2026

PRLab B.V. is a public relations agency focused on technology companies. Its work includes strategic media relations, executive profiling, thought leadership and content-led communications intended to help organisations build credibility and reach relevant audiences. The agency positions communications as a way to establish industry authority and increase visibility for innovative businesses. The 2026 Agency of the Year North America award recognises the agency in a competitive regional field, while the broader Agency of the Year 2026 designation places its work in the context of wider industry recognition. These awards connect PRLab’s stated focus on technology communications with the service quality and strategic contribution expected of an agency operating across markets. The repeated North America award title in the supplied information is treated as one award. PRLab’s role is to develop and deliver communications programmes that translate a company’s expertise and activities into clear narratives for media, executives and other audiences.

QuietGrowth Pty Ltd

FinTech Wealth Management Australia 2026 & Innovation in Wealth Management Australia 2026

The company describes its offering as a scalable digital managed discretionary account, combining portfolio management with automation and an emphasis on consistency, transparency and client accessibility. Its model applies digital processes to investment management rather than presenting technology as a substitute for professional oversight. QuietGrowth’s recognition with the FinTech Wealth Management 2026 award and the Innovation in Wealth Management 2026 award reflects the role of digital delivery and service design in its approach. The awards also place the company within a broader Australian financial technology sector adapting wealth management services to online channels. QuietGrowth’s stated focus on improving accessibility and making portfolio management more scalable provides relevant context for the innovation recognition, while its continuing emphasis on managed investment services aligns with the wealth management category.
