The Swiss Fintech Awards has selected four AI startups as finalists for this year’s ceremony, following a review of 70 applications by a 19-member jury.
All of the shortlisted companies use automated technology to address fraud prevention, banking workflows, or regulatory governance.
Early stage contenders
ForenSwiss and Porters have reached the final in the Early Stage Startup of the Year category.

ForenSwiss uses generative AI to combat online crime and money laundering. The company deploys fully automated chatbots to interact with fraudsters and extract data, helping financial institutions detect fraudulent activity quickly.
Porters
Porters positions itself as an AI native outsourcing partner for banking operations.
The company harnesses agentic systems to automate processes and generate consistent workflows, allowing financial institutions to scale operations cost-effectively while maintaining compliance.
Growth stage finalists
In the Growth Stage Startup of the Year category, BLP and Calvin Risk are the final contenders.
BLP
BLP provides end-to-end enterprise resource planning automation for finance and sales departments. The platform uses digital twins of existing systems alongside pre-trained AI agents to manage exceptions and meet compliance requirements.
Calvin Risk
