This page was proposed for deletion by an editor in the past with the comment:
A clear business advertisement with not only the information and sources showing it, but the fact everything is sourced or worded by the company itself, therefore unacceptable, and it's worse when also considering the account extensively promoted it into other related articles, therefore amounting to several policy violations.

N Promoting financial awareness and literacy is a noble cause, but describing the subject's advocacy of it is not the purpose of the article, per WP:NOTADVOCACY, WP:NOBLECAUSE.
N Although the Fintech awards is independently notable in Wikipedia, the Fintech Breakthrough awards are not, and neither is the award of Best Stock Trading App.^[a]
N The Fintech Accelerator program is not independently notable in Wikipedia
N "to scale and accelerate user acquisition and growth." The meaning of this phrase is unknown.
Y Already done.
