"We welcome the opportunity to recognize and celebrate innovation in the cash management and payments industry," said Christine Barry, research director at Aite Group.

The winners were selected by an eight-person panel that consisted of three Aite Group analysts and five external judges. The identification of an Aite Group award winner or finalist is not an endorsement by Aite Group of any vendor, product, or service.
