It is that time of the year again when we invite financial institutions to review their technology efforts and submit initiatives for consideration for Model Bank 2019 awards. The 2019 nominations window is now open!

By now, many readers of this blog are probably familiar with Celent Model Awards, the program we launched back in 2007 to recognize excellence in financial services technology. Winning initiatives epitomize best practices for technology projects and stand out among their peers. You can find a lot more information about Model Bank on our website pages, including an extensive FAQ section. Most importantly, it also has a link to the online submission form!

We know many of you have been working on exciting initiatives and we hope that you will take the time to share your stories with us by submitting an entry for our consideration. But don't delay - the deadline this year is sligthly earlier than usual, November 16, 2018! Winners will be notified in late January – early February and announced publicly at the awards ceremony in Spring 2019.

We look forward to hearing from you!
