We’re thrilled to share that upcover has won InsurTech Company of the Year at the 2026 Finnies 🎉

This recognition means a lot to our team. The Finnies celebrate the best of Australian fintech, and to be recognised among so many incredible companies building the future of financial services is a proud moment for everyone at upcover.

It’s also a reminder of why we started.

The insurance industry hasn’t kept up with how businesses operate today. Too often, companies overpay for cover, don’t fully understand their risk, and are left with a disjointed broker experience.

upcover exists to change that.

We help businesses manage insurance as an ongoing function, not a once-a-year scramble, combining specialist support with a modern platform built for clarity and scale.

We were created to make insurance simple, accessible and transparent for businesses. By bringing together technology and expert support, we help companies find, understand and manage the right coverage quickly and confidently.

Alongside this win, upcover named a finalist across four other categories:

  • Best Application of AI in Finance
  • Best Workplace Diversity
  • Female Fintech Leader of the Year, for our Cofounder and CEO, Skye Theodorou
  • Outstanding FinTech Leader of the Year, for our Cofounder and COO, Anish Sinha

These finalist nominations reflect the work happening across every part of upcover: from the technology we’re building, to the culture we’re growing, to the leadership driving our mission forward.

A massive congratulations as well to the other Finnies winners, including Kashcade, Block Earner, Chainalysis, Curve, Primary, Apate.ai, Otivo, Remitly, Hello Clever, Bridgit and RedOwl.

It’s exciting to see the breadth of innovation happening across Australian fintech right now. For us, this award is another moment of momentum, and a reminder that the opportunity ahead is huge.

Business owners and CFOs deserve insurance that keeps up with the way they work today. That means less friction, clearer advice, faster outcomes and better protection for the risks modern businesses face.

We’re proud of this recognition, grateful to the Finnies judges and FinTech Australia, and even more excited for what’s ahead and We’re just getting started.

We are digitising commercial insurance and risk management for small, mid-market and technology businesses. We work with a global network of underwriters, challenging legacy brokers and delivering market leading coverage to our customers.
