Tweezr Wins Best of Show at FinovateFall 2026
Our third Finovate Best of Show - and the first in New York. Seven minutes on stage, one live demo on a real legacy core, and a room full of bankers who voted for it.
New York, September 2026 - Tweezr won Best of Show at FinovateFall 2026. It is our third Finovate Best of Show, after back-to-back wins at FinovateEurope in 2025 and 2026, and our first on a US stage.
Finovate's format is unforgiving in the best way: seven minutes, live software, no slides, and an audience of bankers and fintech operators who vote for the demos they'd actually use. We demoed what we always demo - Tweezr working on a real legacy core: mapping the estate, answering questions with citations back to the exact program and paragraph, and showing what breaks before anything changes.
The audience at FinovateFall skews exactly to the people we build for - the teams responsible for systems that run millions of transactions a day on code older than most of the people maintaining it. That this room voted for a deterministic map of legacy systems tells us something we've believed for a while: the industry is done betting on AI that guesses.
Three Best of Show awards across two continents is a pattern, not luck. Banks everywhere are asking the same question - how do we evolve the core without betting the bank? - and the answer that keeps winning rooms is the same one we give our customers: understand it first, prove every answer, and change it in place.
Thank you to Finovate and Informa for a great event, and to every banker who stopped by and voted for us. If you saw the demo and want it running on your own core, book a demo - it takes weeks, not months, to see it on your estate.
