The ceremony celebrated projects shaping the future of financial services around the world. For us, it was a moment to reflect on what these awards truly recognize.
During the Gala, Maria Vin, Strategy and CMO at OpenWay, shared a simple message:
Across Bulgaria, millions of people continued withdrawing cash, paying in stores, and making digital payments as usual. The complexity of the euro transition remained behind the scenes, exactly where it belonged. That seamless continuity is the outcome we are most proud of.
Powered by the Way4 platform, payment services during Bulgaria’s national euro transition kept running from the very first minute of euro adoption.
These awards recognize more than a successful technology project. They recognize trusted partnership, resilient payment technology, and the confidence to deliver one of Europe's most important financial transformations.
Congratulations to everyone at BORICA and OpenWay who contributed to this remarkable achievement!
