PAIR Finance, the innovative fintech for AI-based debt collection, is a first-time winner of the “Tech Awards”, taking first place in the “FinTech” category. During an Oscars-style gala on Saturday, September 10, 2022, at the elegant Waldorf Astoria Berlin, emerging startups were honored in 10 different categories.
I congratulate Stephan Stricker and the entire PAIR Finance team on their first Tech Award. I am very pleased that the award in the FinTech category recognizes how PAIR Finance is changing the traditional debt collection industry by making receivables management digital, efficient and customer-focused. Fintechs offer specialized financial services with the help of modern technology. This definition fully applies to PAIR Finance because the company relies on AI, behavioral analytics and data science to return lost revenue from unpaid invoices.
Jury Member, Entrepreneur & Startup Investor Florian Huber
This year, we were given another great award. We are very pleased to be awarded by WLOUNGE with our first Tech Award. PAIR Finance is a growing, multi-award winning fintech that clearly stands out from its competitors due to its innovation and technical expertise. Therefore, I want to say thank you to the Tech Awards Jury, the whole PAIR Finance team and to everyone who supports us in rethinking receivables management and revolutionizing it for businesses and consumers.

Focus on diversity & innovation
In 2022, the awards ceremony was held under the motto “Women Drive Innovation,” under the patronage of German entrepreneur Brigitte Mohn. Thus, the German Tech Oscars put their focus on the innovative power of women and the diversity of teams in the tech ecosystem.
