The nominations window for the Digital Wealth Management Impact Innovation Awards is now closed. The winners will be announced on July 15, 2020 during Aite Group's Digital Transformation in Wealth Management Roundtable & Networking Forum in New York City. 

What is an Impact Innovation Award (IIA)?

Customer needs and expectations continue to evolve and financial institutions must strive to stay one step ahead. Their capabilities and breadth of product portfolio must go beyond what has traditionally been offered to address new market challenges and capture new opportunities. Aite Group’s Impact Innovation Awards are designed to recognize and celebrate innovation achieved by financial institutions leveraging technology to surpass the status quo. Award recipients are leading the industry by identifying and implementing new products, capabilities, and/or levels of automation and effectiveness that are bringing our industry one step closer to next generation financial services. They are the financial institutions, regardless of size, that others will follow.
